“We have been constantly receiving requests from fans to hold the series in India and we are excited to bring the Legends League second season back home. We have the maximum number of cricket fans here in India," Raman Raheja, co-founder and CEO of LLC, said on Saturday.
As of now, LLC is in the process of zeroing in on the venues where the matches could potentially be held. The league is expected to see participation from legendary cricketers from nine countries.
“The first season had maximum viewership from India, followed by Pakistan and Sri Lanka followed by the rest of the world. We hope to give a better experience to our viewers and cricket enthusiasts. We are sure that the cricketing fans will rejoice in our decision to shift the base to India as the excitement of watching live cricket cannot be matched," Raheja said.
The third edition though will be held in Oman next year.
