The addition of the former Indian vice-captain to the New York Superstar Strikers’ squad brings a wealth of experience, skill, and leadership, enhancing their prospects for the upcoming tournament. Yuvraj’s appointment as captain has generated excitement among fans and enthusiasts globally for the upcoming Legends Cricket Trophy Season 2.
The team believes that Yuvraj’s vast experience and skills will greatly improve their performance in the 90-ball format tournament.
Yuvraj’s inclusion enhances the team with extensive knowledge, talent, and leadership, strengthening the New York Superstar Strikers’ preparedness to take the lead in the next tournament
-The franchise said in an official statement.
The tournament in Kandy, Sri Lanka, scheduled from March 7 to 18, will have a distinctive 90-ball format. In contrast, last year’s season in Ghaziabad, held from March 22 to March 30, followed a 20-over format.
Reflecting on the inaugural season, the final match in Ghaziabad was affected by rain, leading to Indore Knights and Guwahati Avengers being declared co-champions. Now, in Season 2, there’s a twist with the LCT adopting a 90-ball format. Each team’s five bowlers can bowl three overs each, and by the 60th ball, the captain has the option to select one bowler for an extra over.
