ETPL In A Region With Rich Tradition Is A Great Opportunity For Local Talent: Dravid
European T20 Premier League: Former India captain and head coach Rahul Dravid, who is the co-owner of Dublin Guardians in the upcoming European T20 Premier League (ETPL), believes the competition will provide a vital platform for local talent to shine on the world stage, citing Europe's strong club culture and rich tradition of playing the sport.
The inaugural edition of the ETPL is set to kick off on August 26 and backed by prominent international figures including Dravid and former South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis, who has taken on a dual role as co-owner and player for the Rotterdam Dockers.
"I think one of the things about the ETPL is that it's in a region which already has a rich tradition and history of the game. There's a really vibrant club culture here, including so many of the local population who play the sport. I think there's a tremendous passion and a love for the game in the continent.
