Last year, three teams, namely India Maharajas, Asia Lions and World Giants participated in Legends League Cricket. If the tournament follows a similar format this year, Ganguly may reunite with his former Indian teammates like Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth.

Some big names from Pakistan, including Shoaib Akhtar, Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Yousuf and Shahid Afridi also featured in the LLC T20 last year.

Only Misbah-ul-Haq has been confirmed to play this year so far. It will be interesting to see if Akhtar confirms his participation and bowls against the Sehwag-Ganguly duo again.
