The Masters Champions League (MCL), a Twenty20 league planned for
retired cricketers in the UAE next year, has got the approval of the
International Cricket Council (ICC).
Although the ICC is yet to issue an official statement, sources in the
governing body told PTI that the league has been given a No Objection
Certificate (NOC).
In the first edition slated to start on January 22, six teams will
accommodate a total of 90 players (15 members per squad) who will be
selected during an auction in Dubai on November 27.
The players, who have officially retired from international cricket, will
recreate their magic across the Dubai International Cricket Stadium,
Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium and Sharjah Cricket Stadium
— destinations which have previously hosted cricket tournaments
including the IPL.
The MCL has been approved for an initial 10-year period by the
Emirates Cricket Board (ECB).
Update: The Masters Champions League, a
Twenty20 league planned for retired cricketers in the UAE next year,
has got the approval of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
