    "editor1": "<p><strong>Dubai, 13 January <\/strong>- Three-time Ashes-winning England skipper Paul Collingwood was on Tuesday named captain of the Capricorn Commanders franchise in the Masters Champions League (MCL) T20 cricket tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>MCL, a Twenty20 cricket league, will be made up of six teams in its first year in 2016, with a total of 90 players taking part -- 15 members per squad. The players must all have been former international cricketers who are now retired from all forms of the professional sport.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;It will be exciting to lead Capricorn Commanders in the first ever MCL. It is a privilege to lead such esteemed players who I have battled with over the years, and am happy to be with, on the same side. This will hopefully be the first of our successive, successful associations together,&rdquo; Collingwood said in a release on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Capricorn Commanders is owned by actor Sohail Khan and Parvez Khan, a prominent Dubai-based business tycoon and owner of property developers Pacific Ventures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;We could not have chosen a more exciting player. Collingwood is such a great leader on and off the field, and will definitely be a great asset to the team. We are aiming to win and Collingwood is the perfect captain to take us towards that direction,&rdquo; Parvez said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former Pakistani right arm fast-medium bowler and right-hand batsman Abdul Razzaq, who played 265 One-Dayers and 46 Tests, will be vice-captain of the Commanders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Agency<\/strong><\/p>\r\n",
