Dubai, 13 January - 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.
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.
“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,” Collingwood said in a release on Tuesday.
