Abu Dhabi T10 Match: The New York Strikers, who finished as runners-up in their first season of the Abu Dhabi T10 last year, on Wednesday announced that they have acquired a franchise in the exciting Lanka Premier League, which will be called Colombo Strikers.
The franchise, owned by Sagar Khanna, has joined Kandy Falcons, Jaffna Kings, Galle Gladiators and Dambulla Aura in the five-team competition.
Sagar Khanna, who owns the Skky Group - a leader in various sectors such as hospitality, retail stores and real estate - made his first foray into cricket by co-founding the New York-based cricket franchise Skky Strikers. Later, he went on to become the sole owner of the franchise. The Skky Strikers witnessed fantastic results in several tournaments in the United States of America before the franchise made its way to Abu Dhabi and Sri Lanka.
