The Legends League Cricket (LLC) featuring many top cricketers will be in action during the third edition in Qatar starting March 10, 2023.

The Asia Town Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar, is set to host the third edition of the event.

Three teams, World Giants, India Maharajas and Asia Lions, are all set to battle it out for the title from March 10 to March 20.

Raman Raheja, co-founder and CEO of Legends League Cricket, said: “Legends League Cricket has grown immensely since its inception. The greatest thing we have achieved this season is the addition of recently retired cricketers like Suresh Raina, Murali Vijay, Mohammad Amir, and Aaron Finch among others. It is a clear testament to the fact that LLC did create a strong demand and fans want to see them back on the field. With such positive developments, we are surely expecting the league to be much more competitive.”
