As the Legends League Trophy Season 2 picks up pace, veteran cricketer Harbhajan Singh champions the LCT 90 ball format, emphasizing its superiority. Renowned for his insightful perspectives, Singh’s endorsement of LCT 90 underscores its appeal and potential.
In a recent interview, Harbhajan Singh hailed the LCT 90 format for offering a balanced cricketing experience. “The LCT 90 format adds a new dimension to the game,” remarked Singh. “It strikes a fine balance between length and skill, allowing players to showcase their talents across various aspects of the sport.”
Sharing his experience of the league, Singh highlighted its significance for retired players. “Leagues have started happening with retired players for the past two to three years,” he said. “It provides opportunities for retired players to continue playing in a competitive environment, whether they’re colleagues from abroad or the national team.”Speaking about playing in Kandy, Singh described the unique features of the 90-ball format. “It’s different from other formats, with four power plays and the option for the batsman to choose their powerplay between 10 to 15. Additionally, the best bowler can bowl four overs, making it favorable for retired players,” he explained.
Singh also praised the format for allowing longer gameplay compared to T10 cricket. “In T10, there’s limited time for play, but in the LCT 90 format, longer play is possible. This works to our advantage, especially when we have strong bowlers like Malinga,” he added.
