Complete list of Cricketers in the All Stars T20 series

Complete list of Cricketers in the All Stars T20 series: The suspense is over. The star cast is named and it is now time to enjoy the show. For the first time such a legendary bunch of cricketers would play on the American soil. The much awaited “Cricket All Stars Series” will be played in USA in November across 3 cities.

The series is the brainchild of the game’s two legends Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne. The venues for the three matches have also been confirmed with New York, Houston and Los Angeles edging out two of the early proposals, Chicago and the Yankee stadium.

Along with the duo, many other greats of the game including Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting have been signed up to play the league starting from November 7 in New York. Warne & Tendulkar had proposed the formation of a T20 league featuring retired international cricketers, with 15 exhibition matches to be played across a three-and-a-half year period and this is the start of that plan.

Incidentally, the three venues chosen are all baseball stadiums. The third T20, which will be the only match to be played under floodlights, will be held at the Dodger Stadium, the home of the LA Dodgers, having a capacity of 56000.
