Zaheer Khan revealed as team owner of Antwerp Anchors in EUT20 Belgium

Former Indian cricketer Zaheer Khan has been announced as a co-owner of Antwerp Anchors, an EUT20 Belgium franchise.

The 47-year-old will join Anchor Sports to become part of the ownership group for the Antwerp-based franchise. 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 run until June 14, 2026. All matches will take place in Hofstade, with six teams set to battle it out for the title. Renowned T20 cricketers such as Andre Russell, Shakib Al Hasan, Shoaib Malik, and others will be in action.

The six franchises set to participate in the inaugural EUT20 Belgium edition are: Antwerp Anchors, JB Bruges, Liège Red Lions, Akcel United Brussels, Ghent Bangla Tigers, and Leuven.

On joining EUT20 Belgium, 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.”
