The ground is ready, the players are in town and all seems ready for today’s opener. It is an astonishing feat to put this together given the timelines, so kudos to all involved. In other news, Star have picked up the global broadcasting rights, and the league have signed a deal with CricnWin as a fan engagement platform –  “Cricnwin, which bills itself as the ‘world’s first cricket fan engagement platform’, connects fans through chatrooms, and aims to create a “more transparent engagement” between fans and franchise.”
We understand that a number of sponsors have been signed up, including CIBC, Turkish Airlines, Canada Dry and Telus.
Now for some cricket!
