A series of cricket legends will come together to rewind the clock and play a world series in Maharashtra to create road safety awareness amongst the public.
The Road Safety World Series, which is already a highly-anticipated event because of the stature of the players involved, is going to be organised by the Road Safety Cell of Maharashtra in partnership with the Professional Management Group (PMG).
Teams from India, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, and Sri Lanka will participate in the event, which will be played in the round-robin format, with the top two teams in the standings at the end of the round set to make it to the final.
While the inaugural game of the tournament will be hosted at the iconic Wankhede Stadium of Mumbai, the final match will take place at the Brabourne Stadium which is also located in the capital city of Maharashtra.
The Road Safety World Series will go on for two weeks with a total of 11 matches scheduled to be held. The event has been given a No Objection Certificate (NOC) by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as well as the International Cricket Council (ICC).
