In the second season of LPL, four teams will play the tournament. In the inaugural season played in January this year, three teams such as Asia Lions, India Maharajas, and World Giants played. League CEO and founder Raheja has stated that four teams will play in the tournament this year.
Also, a player draft will also be organized, with 110 players presented to the teams. The teams will pick player from the lot. The tournament will start on September 20, 2022.
“We have 4 Franchisees owned teams, playing 15 matches between September 20 to October 10, 2022, at Oman. Currently, we have 110 top-class players in the pool who would be put in 4 teams through a Player Draft process in early August 2022. So about 80 top players, essentially Legends of Cricket, would be playing in the upcoming season. Players like Sehwag, Irfan & Yusuf Pathan amongst others from India. Australia, England, Pakistan, SA, Sri Lanka, etc are going to be playing together. The format is such that it would make us an International T20 League with the highest number of International Cricketers in the playing eleven,” Raheja added.
