New Delhi, Nov 28, Legends League Cricket (LLC) will host its third season in Qatar and Oman from February 27 to March 8 next year. The tournament will be called “LLC Masters” and would have three participating teams, India Maharajas, Asia Lions and World Giants, which was the same that played in the inaugural season.
While the recently-concluded second season of Legends League Cricket had four franchise-owned teams with 85 legends and was played in India, the upcoming season is a repeat of the first season.
