Legends League Cricket (LLC) has announced the latest additions to its Masters' bandwagon, revealing the new set of players who will join the tournament. On Monday, the India Maharajas confirmed the signing of three notable former players - Harbhajan Singh, Murali Vijay, and Stuart Binny - to further strengthen their squad. Meanwhile, the Asia Lions have secured the services of former Pakistan fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and Sohail Tanvir, while the former England captain, Paul Collingwood, will be joining the World Giants.
Having retired from all forms of cricket earlier this year, LLC Masters will mark Vijay's first competitive tournament since January. The former Indian test team player said, "I am delighted to be a part of LLC Masters 2023 and absolutely stoked to step onto the field for the India Maharajas. We have a strong squad that looks balanced in all departments, and I am really excited to take to the field with my old friends and teammates."
Amir will be the youngest player on the Asia Lions squad, known for his ability to swing the bowl both ways, he has been a game-changer for the Pakistan team on many occasions. "I will be playing alongside some of my former teammates, but at the same time, some of the legends whom we have grown up seeing in action, like Shoaib Akhtar and Abdul Razzaq. I am very sure that it is going to be an exciting contest, and I am looking forward to it," added Amir.
The first match of the Legends League Cricket Masters will take place on March 10, between the India Maharajas and the Asia Lions.
