International League T-20 (ILT-20) has started in UAE from Friday. Meanwhile, he had a league-related conversation with Indian team legend Harbhajan Singh.
Harbhajan Singh said that UAE needed a league of its own. This will benefit the country’s cricket.
Turbanator said on Bhaskar’s question – I will have to work hard to bring him back. I enjoy League of Legends. If there is a competitive league game like ILT20, then one will have to work on fitness.
Players from Pakistan and India compete together here
On the question of IPL and league players, Harbhajan said, it would not be right at all to compare this tournament with IPL. IPL is the biggest league in the world. However, Big Bash, The Hundred, Caribbean League started. The special thing about Dubai League is that players who do not get a chance in Big Bash or IPL can know here.
Players from India and Pakistan play together in UAE. The UAE team is strong with international players. This will prove to be a game changer in league cricket.

The Gulf Giants won the first season of the ILT20.
The league has its place, but the player’s identity is with the country.
He said, most leagues have started happening in cricket, hence it can be said that the sport is following the path of football. I hope that this will not reduce the priority of Test cricket. Even today I am certified that your existence in the country is made up of associations.
Players from India and Pakistan are also among the commentators.
The commentators in the 14 included Ahiran Gavaskar, Rohan Gavaskar, Saba Karim, Nikhil Chopra, Vivek Razdan, DBO Akram, Waqar Younis and Shokh Akhtar along with Alan Wilkins, Simon. Doull, Darren Ganga, Danny Morrison and Niall O’Brienhaugh.
