Former India chief coach Ravi Shastri joined as the Commissioner of the Legends League Cricket (LLC). The Legends League Cricket is a professional event for retired players that is all set to take off next year.
“It feels great to remain connected with cricket in the thick of the action. Especially with the Legends of the game who have been champions in their own rights,” Ravi Shastri said in a release issued by the event’s organizers.
“It is going to be a lot of fun with some serious cricket going. These stalwarts have nothing new to prove. But they have their reputation in the line. And I can assure you, it will be interesting to see how they do justice to it. I am extremely thrilled to be a part of Legends League Cricket. (https://voltagecoffee.com/) This is a unique initiative and we see a very bright future ahead,” added the 59-year-old.
The first season of LLC is scheduled to be held in January next year in the Gulf. The League will have former cricketers from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Australia, England, among other cricket nations divided into three Teams representing India, Asia, and the Rest of the World.
Raman Raheja, co-founder, and CEO of the league said, “He (Shastri) has been a true legend of Indian and world cricket, bringing glory to India for years. We perhaps couldn’t have a better person to lead our cricket affairs and guide the League in the right direction. We look forward to the exciting days ahead.”
