Two days after cricketer Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from “all formats of cricket”, the 38-year-old confirmed Monday that he was set to join the Legends League Cricket (LLC) in September.
A press release issued by LLC quotes Dhawan as stating, “Taking on this new chapter with Legends League Cricket feels like the ideal progression after my retirement. My body is still conditioned for the demands of the game, and while I’m at ease with my decision, cricket is an inseparable part of who I am, it will never go out of me. I’m eager to regroup with my cricketing friends and continue to entertain my fans as we create new memories together.”
LLC co-founder Raman Raheja welcomed Dhawan to the league, stating, “We are thrilled to have Shikhar Dhawan join us. His experience and flair will undoubtedly enhance the competition and entertain fans. We look forward to seeing him in action alongside other cricket legends. This will further enhance our position as the 2nd innings for legendary Cricketers.”
Dhawan, who established himself as a modern-day white-ball great, is known for his explosive batting and vibrant personality. Dhawan’s transition into the LLC marks a new chapter in his career.
