Legends League Cricket 2022 will get underway tonight with a battle between India Maharajas and Asia Lions.

Some of the biggest names from the cricket world will be in action during this exhibition tournament, hosted by Oman. Most of the cricketers participating in the competition have called it a day on their international careers.

Five former members of the Mumbai Indians IPL team will be in action for the India Maharajas. Here's a list of the five names.


#1 Yuvraj Singh

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh ended his IPL career after winning the 2019 season with the Mumbai Indians. Since then, Yuvraj has played in many other T20 leagues.

He is all set to make his Legends League Cricket debut later tonight. The southpaw was in great touch during the Road Safety World Series last year. It should not be a surprise if he turns back the clock and scores big in Oman over the next few days.


#2 Harbhajan Singh

Unfortunately, his career was derailed after he was reported for suspect action. Before that, Ojha won the IPL Purple Cap in 2010.

Not many fans would know that Stuart Binny made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in 2010, playing only one match that season. Binny later represented Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.

The former Indian all-rounder retired from international cricket last year. He has since worked as an assistant coach of the Assam cricket team. From tonight onwards, Binny will be in action for the India Maharajas team.
