MUMBAI: Indian cricket great Sachin Tendulkar has joined an ever expanding list, suing Australian batmaker Spartan Sports over an alleged non-payment of $2 million bound by an exclusive licensing agreement.

MS Dhoni, Michael Clarke and Kevin Pietersen are among other cricketers Spartan has had on its books over the years.

Dhoni, as well as Australian Test cricketers Mitchell Johnson and Joe Burns, have all previously sued Spartan over alleged shortfalls in contract payments.
