Cricketing legends Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne announced their team and squad composition for the Cricket All Stars T20 League after a draw in New York on Thursday. The much-awaited and hyped T20 league comprising of star and retired players from all across the globe is set to be played from November 7 in USA, with the venues being New York, Houston and Los Angeles. While there are few interesting members in the squad, it looks to be an even side for both Sachin Blasters and Warne Warriors and a stiff competition is expected between the two sides when they clash on Saturday morning.
