The second edition of Legends League Cricket is all set to be played between September 16 and October 5 in India.

Featuring four teams, a total of 15 matches will be played across 20 days. Bhilwara Kings, Gujarat Giants, India Capitals and Manipal Tigers are the four teams participating in Legends League Cricket 2022.

As per the schedule, each team will play the other side in the competition in a double round-robin format. The top two teams in the league phase will compete in the Qualifier for a place in the final while the loser will face the third-placed team in the Eliminator to qualify for the summit clash.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan will lead Bhilwara Kings while Virender Sehwag has been appointed captain of Gujarat Giants.

Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir has been given the responsibility to lead India Capitals and Manipal Tigers will be led by former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh.

An exhibition match between Sourav Ganguly-led India Maharajas and Eoin Morgan’s World Giants will kick-off Legends League Cricket 2022 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Legendary cricketers including Brett Lee, Chris Gayle, Muttiah Muralitharan, Virender Sehwag, Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson will take part in the upcoming edition of the tournament.

Apart from Eden Gardens, matches are scheduled to be played at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Cuttack’s Barabati Cricket Stadium and Barkatullah Khan Stadium in Jodhpur. Venues for the eliminator and the final are yet to be announced.
