They all follow cricket very passionately, and they don’t like to lose the dream of their idol retiring. Especially in the last few years we have seen cricket become so physically competitive. Raheja said – Young players are moving forward and seniors have been sidelined, even though they have five to six years of cricket left in them. So, we saw it as an opportunity and we’ve kept it that way. If we bring together players and legends of similar fitness levels, they can represent the five-six years of cricket they have left and connect with the fans. In this way, this vision started in January 2022 and today here we found 59 cricketers who have come out of retirement to play the tournament. Today, more than 700 players have registered. From this perspective, it is to make it a second innings for the veteran cricketers. Those players who think that we are going to retire, then they should think now.
