ISPL aims to connect with cricket fans across the nation. The aim of the league is to provide an opportunity for young players to showcase their talents. The tournament can boost the chances of talented players to play professional cricket. With the presence of the legendary cricketer, the ISPL is set to become an important moment in Indian cricket history.
Sharing his enthusiasm about becoming part of ISPL, Sachin Tendulkar said, “The ISPL is envisioned to be a celebration of cricket. My involvement in ISPL is reflective of my journey which takes me back to my roots. Before graduating to the season ball, I honed my skills in matches played with tennis balls. I am sure the ISPL will give many aspiring cricket enthusiasts a similar opportunity,” Sachin said.
“The exciting format of ISPL formalises a form of cricket which is much played across all age groups. I am looking forward to bringing my experience to the table and contributing to the evolution of this format and the league,” Tendulkar added.
