LCT offers retired players chances to keep playing, according to Harbhajan Singh

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has emphasized the significance of Legends Cricket Trophy (LCT) in providing retired players with an opportunity to continue playing in a competitive environment. Singh praised the 90-ball format for offering a balanced cricketing experience, allowing players to showcase their skills effectively.

According to Singh, the LCT 90 format introduces a new dimension to the game by striking a balance between length and skill. He highlighted the unique features of the format, such as four power plays and the option for the batsman to choose their powerplay between 10 to 15, making it favorable for retired players to excel.

Singh reflected on his initial reaction to the 90-ball format, noting the simplicity of the options available to the players. He also compared the format to T10 cricket, pointing out that LCT 90 allows longer gameplay, providing a platform for intense battles between bat and ball.

The strategic approach encouraged by the LCT 90 format fosters quality competition and enhances spectator engagement, moving away from the rapid pace of T10 cricket. Singh’s support for the format is expected to generate discussions within the cricketing community and potentially redefine limited-overs cricket.

As Legends League Trophy Season 2 progresses, Harbhajan Singh’s advocacy for the LCT 90 ball format validates its potential to revolutionize the cricketing landscape, with his esteemed reputation in the sport backing the format’s ability to challenge players and elevate the overall quality of competition.
