The tournament, which will be exclusively broadcast on Sony Sports Network, promises to bring the excitement of tennis ball cricket to millions of viewers globally.

The venue for the event will be announced soon, organisers said.

"I am thrilled to be part of this historic moment in cricket. I remember earning Rs 50 (Dh2.14) as a kid after hitting five sixes in an overplaying tennis ball cricket,” said tournament ambassador Yuvraj, while speaking about the league’s ‘phenomenal potential’ at the kickoff event in Dubai.
