Mumbai: Actress and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen believes that women also understand cricket nowadays. She will soon fly to UAE to attend Masters Champions League, a Twenty20 tournament, to cheer for Capricorn Commanders team. “I am very excited. I have never seen a cricket match live except for our very own IPL matches. To watch epic batsmen, bowlers and fielders on the field will be very interesting to watch. I would define T20 as an instant gratification. The players have to get going from the first ball… hence, makes the game very exciting. Also, there will be an enormous crowd that will be brought in to support, and most of them will be women. Women understand cricket a lot these days,” said Sushmita.

Earlier, Gemini Arabians, a team participating in the upcoming Masters Champions League had named Virender Sehwag as its captain and team director. Players and management descended into Dubai from various parts of the world to reveal the team logo and team jersey. Team owner and CEO Nalin Khaitan had said they wanted to attempt something totally out-of-the-box to present the team. “All the cricketers have shown great enthusiasm and excitement in order to make this event a success. We look forward to translate this passion on to the field and produce exciting cricket at the upcoming MCL,” he said.
MCL is an innovative concept that brings the legends of the game back into action in a T20 format. Close to 250 players who have retired from all formats of international cricket went under the hammer to be part of one of the six franchises in MCL. The tournament is scheduled to be held from January 28-February 13, in Dubai and Sharjah.
