“Back again, these legends are getting fitter and preparing hard for the upcoming season. The quality of cricket we saw previously has set the benchmark and when you have legends coming back to play another season, it shows their commitment towards the fans to offer competitive cricket,” said Raman Raheja, Co-Founder & CEO, Legends League Cricket.

“For us, half the battle is already won while players are making physical preparations and ready to play again. All I can say to fans is that they must watch out for a cracking season ahead,” it added.
