Road Safety World Series T20: Full squad, complete fixture and other details | Cricket News

Road Safety World Series T20: Former cricketing stars will assemble in Raipur as the stage is all set to host Road Safety World Series, starting from March 5. The tournament will feature batting legend Sachin Tendulkar along with several other high-profile names, including Virender Sehwag, Brian Lara and Muttiah Muralitharan.

The inaugural edition of the tournament, which was held last year, was called off midway due to the Covid-19 pandemic and just four matches were played. As per a report in PTI earlier this month, the organisers stated that the remaining matches will now take place in the newly-built 65,000 capacity Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur, the only venue for the entire tournament. 

Meanwhile, Australia Legends pulled out from the tournament because of the team’s inability to travel due to strict Covid-19 restrictions Down Under. England and Bangladesh Legends are the two new teams that have been added in the Road Safety World Series T20. While Bangladesh Legends come in as as a replacement to the Australian Legends, England Legends have been included as the sixth team of the event.
