Former Indian chief coach Ravi Shastri has joined in as the Commissioner of the Legends League Cricket (LLC). Legends League Cricket (LLC) is a professional event for retired players. The event will be starting next year. The first season of the event is scheduled to be conducted in January next year in the Gulf.

In a release issued by the event’s organizers, Shastri said, "It feels great to remain connected with cricket in the thick of action, especially with the Legends of the game who have been champions in their own rights. It is going to be a lot of fun with some serious cricket going. These stalwarts have nothing new to prove but they have their reputation in line and I can assure you, it will be interesting to see how they do justice to it. I am extremely thrilled to be a part of Legends League Cricket. This is a unique initiative and we see a very bright future ahead", reported AFP.  

Raman Raheja, co-founder and CEO of league, said, “He (Shastri) has been a true legend of Indian and world cricket, bringing glory to India for years. We perhaps couldn’t have a better person to lead our cricket affairs and guide the League in the right direction. We look forward to the exciting days ahead", reported News18.
