160 international retired cricketers to feature in RSWS 2022

While the first edition of this T20 league was a huge success owing to the presence of several legends and former cricketers who have played international cricket in the past, the second season is expected to be bigger and grander. This is mainly due to the fact that the upcoming season is all set to feature 160 cricketers who are well-reputed and have already established themselves in the cricketing arena for a really long time.

The RSWS, which was founded by Ravi Gaikwad, came into existence in order to raise awareness about road safety and thus, the name of the T20 league consisted of the words “road safety”. While the previous season saw India win the title, the tournament saw several cricketing legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Kevin Pietersen, Jonty Rhodes, Carl Hooper, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh feature in it.

Former Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan was the player of the series of the inaugural edition of the RSWS. Not only did he score the most number of runs in the earlier edition, but he was the leading wicket-taker as well. Thus, owing to the success of RSWS 2020-21, the RSWS 2022 is expected to live up to the hype
