The Masters Champions League (MCL) received a shot in the arm after Rhiti Sports Management, the company that looks after the interests of India captain MS Dhoni, has decided to buy a team that will feature in the T20 league which commences next February.
Confirming the news after it was first reported in the Times of India, Zafar Shah, Chairman of MCL said over the phone: "Yes, it is true. Rhiti Sports Management have bought a team that will play in the MCL.
"However, we need to come up with a name for the team which should be decided soon," he added. The MCL is a tournament for ex-cricketers being initiated by the Dubai-based Grand Midwest Sports and approved by the Emirates Cricket Board.
Former stalwarts like Brian Lara, Wasim Akram, Adam Gilchrist, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara and several other retired stars form a part of a pool of 90-odd players who will be seen in action when the tournament gets underway next year in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah.
