Zaheer Khan revealed as team owner for Antwerp Anchors in EUT20 Belgium Cricket League

Former Indian cricketer and World Cup winner Zaheer Khan has been announced as a co-owner of the EUT20 Belgium Cricket League franchise, Antwerp Anchors. Khan will join Anchor Sports to form the ownership group for the Antwerp based franchise. By coming on board as a co-owner, Khan is expected to shape the team’s cricketing philosophy and long-term development strategy. 

The inaugural season of the EUT20 Belgium will kick off on June 4, 2026 and go on until June 14, 2026. The matches will take place in Hofstade, Belgium and the six teams will battle it out for the title. Renowned T20 cricketers such as Andre Russell, Shakib Al Hasan, Shoaib Malik and others will be in action in the league. The six franchises who will be taking part in the league are the Antwerp Anchors, JB Bruges, Liège Red Lions. Royal Brussels. Ghent and Leuven.

Zaheer Khan, commented,

“Europe is a big canvas for cricket, and I genuinely believe we are only at the beginning of what is possible here. Being a co-owner of the Antwerp Anchors is not just a business proposition — it is a chance to be part of building something meaningful from the ground up. What excites me most is the opportunity to find new talent across this continent and give those players the environment, the belief, and the platform to perform to their fullest potential. That has always been close to my heart. I look forward to being in Brussels in June and getting started.”

Nagendra Siddoutam, Owner of Antwerp Anchors, added,

“Having Zaheer Khan as a co-owner is the clearest possible signal of what the Antwerp Anchors stand for. He is a legend of the game, a proven winner, and someone who knows how to build for the long term. His involvement is not only a huge statement for the franchise, but also a powerful opportunity to support the growth of the European cricketing community and inspire the next generation of youth talent — a core pillar of Anchor. Add Andre Russell to that picture, and I believe every cricket fan in Europe will want to be watching us in Brussels this June.”
