After retiring from international cricket, former India opener Shikhar Dhawan joined the Legends League Cricket (LLC) on Monday.
The 38-year-old southpaw, who declared his retirement on Saturday, is now eligible to play in T20 competitions outside of the Indian Premier League.
“Cricket is an integral part of who I am and will never leave me, even though my body is still conditioned for the demands of the game. I’m at peace with my decision.
“I am eager to regroup with my cricketing friends and continue to entertain my fans as we create new memories together,” Dhawan said in a statement.
Dhawan scored 12,286 runs for India while playing in 34 Tests, 167 ODIs, and 68 T20s.
The Legends League Cricket event is scheduled for September.
