Legends Intercontinental T20 Unveils Trophy and Green Initiatives Ahead of Inaugural Season

The Legends Intercontinental T20, owned by US-based Brosid Sports LLC, unveiled the Legends Intercontinental T20 Trophy at a grand function on Friday. The inaugural edition is scheduled to take place from August 16 to 28 at Moosa Stadium in Texas, USA, where legendary cricket stars from various continents will showcase their skills and passion for the game.

The tournament will feature seven teams: Indo Kings, Asian Avengers, Euro Rangers, American Mavericks, Trans-Tasman Titans, African Lions, and Caribbean Vikings. These teams, composed of cricket icons from around the globe, will compete for the prestigious trophy in the inaugural season.

The trophy unveiling event was attended by notable figures including Arun Pandey, Chairman & COO of LIT20, Mohit Joon, Promoter of LIT20, Vishal Sharma, CEO of LIT20, and former IPL and Delhi first-class player Pradeep Sangwan.

During the event, the LIT20 management engaged in discussions about supporting sustainability practices. Arun Pandey, a proponent of ‘All Green’ initiatives, presented small plants to the guests to signify LIT20’s commitment to environmental sustainability. Several green initiatives are set to be officially launched leading up to the inaugural edition.

Speaking on the occasion, Arun Pandey expressed his gratitude to the LIT20 committee and Brosid Sports LLC for including him on their board. “The World Cup in the USA has shown that this is a significant market. I have been observing this market since 2010, but it has never been fully explored. There is a hunger for cricket, with many Indians in the USA passionate about the sport and continuing to celebrate it. This presents a great opportunity for global cricketers and fans. Through LIT20, we aim to set a new benchmark for cricket, bring back legendary players, provide them with a platform, and connect with global fans,” he said.

Pandey also emphasized the focus on sustainability, highlighting the importance of environmental awareness in light of recent hot summers. “Through LIT20 and the participation of legendary players, we want to make fans more conscious about the environment,” he added.

The inaugural edition will follow a single round-robin format, with the top four teams at the end of the league stage advancing to the knockout stage. A total of 24 matches will be played, with each day featuring double-headers at Moosa Stadium in Texas, USA.

The complete schedule and roster of players will be announced soon.
