Spanning 11 days, the tournament will bring together revered cricketers like Chris Gayle, Yuvraj Singh, and Harbhajan Singh to compete in a novel 90-ball format. This format is designed to rekindle old rivalries and honor the spirit of the game.
Shavain Sharma, the Director of the Legends Cricket Trophy, expressed his enthusiasm: “The overwhelming presence of stars converging in Sri Lanka for our opening ceremony is a testament to the Legends Cricket Trophy’s soaring popularity. The excitement is palpable as we gear up for the commencement.”
The games, set against the backdrop of the majestic Pallakele Stadium in Kandy, will feature a unique bowling strategy where five bowlers will each bowl three overs, with one bowler delivering an additional over before the 60th ball. This strategic element, combined with Power Play dynamics and Strategic Time Outs, is expected to intensify the competition and captivate fans across the globe.
The Legends Cricket Trophy has also welcomed MagicWin Sports as its title sponsor, a partnership that promises to elevate the tournament’s profile even further.
Recalling the inaugural season, the Legends Cricket Trophy debuted with a 20-over format in Ghaziabad, India, last year. The finale saw Indore Knights and Guwahati Avengers crowned as joint champions after inclement weather led to the cancellation of the final match.
