“To globalise the game, I feel T20 is the right format, the format is fast, it’s gripping, it’s got a lot of energy and invariably the finishes are real close. Very rarely you get to see a one-sided game, which is what people like to see. Towards the end of most T20 games, every ball matters.” Said Sachin Tendulkar on the eve of the player’s draw at the New York Times Square.
Apart from Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne, players like Brian Lara, Wasim Akram, Matthew Hayden, Muttiah Muralitharan, Daniel Vettori, Saqlain Mushtaq, Kumar Sangakkara, Curtly Ambrose and many others were drawn to play for the 2 teams led by Sachin and Warne.
