Per WP:NSPORT. I may be missing some criteria that would allow for a team like this to meet WP guidelines, but how could a team that's never had a professional match be notable enough for it's own WP page? It seems WP:TOOSOON for this team to have it's own page - at the very least additional sources needed to be provided to substantiate claims of notability.

Merge to T20 Global League and merge the other seven teams too. The league's inaugural season is set to start in November 2017, so notability by then is about as certain as it can be, but until it actually happens the various team articles are not yet substantive enough to exist as separate articles. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 20:00, 22 August 2017 (UTC)- Merge Agreed as per Dodger67's points, not crystal ball and all that. There will be enough to kick it off to its own article soon enough Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 21:49, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep The league is starting to take shape, with the teams being announced right now. This details the head coach, with other information to come in the near future. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:14, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Update - squads now announced. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:29, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as squads are announed and the team is likely to play T20GL. Greenbörg (talk) 09:58, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

- Changing to Snow Keep as events of the last few days have overtaken the argument for deletion. There has been a lot of recent press coverage of matters relating to the teams in the tournament, such as squad selections, match schedule, and other details. There was always a fairly good chance that notability would firm up before this AFD could close. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 11:31, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
