MUMBAI: Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has made a strategic investment in the Indian Street Premier League, India’s pioneering tennis ball T10 cricket tournament to be played inside a stadium.
The Master Blaster will play a pivotal role in advising and shaping the format of the T10 cricket league as a core committee member.
Sharing his enthusiasm about becoming part of ISPL, Sachin said, “The ISPL is envisioned to be a celebration of cricket. My involvement in ISPL is reflective of my journey which takes me back to my roots. Before graduating to the season ball, I honed my skills in matches played with tennis balls and I am sure the ISPL will give many aspiring cricket enthusiasts a similar opportunity. The exciting format of ISPL formalises a form of cricket which is much played across all age groups. I am looking forward to bringing my experience to the table and contributing to the evolution of this format and the league.”
ISPL hopes to reach out to cricket lovers in every nook and corner of the country. The league aims to provide a platform for undiscovered talents to showcase their skills and potentially carve a path to playing cricket professionally.
Scheduled to kick off from 6th March to 15th March in Mumbai, the inaugural edition of ISPL promises an exciting roster of matches, featuring six competitive teams – Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir).
ISPL has also recently announced the Invitation to Bid for the co-ownership across the six teams, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Srinagar, with bids starting at INR 10 Lakhs.
