Legends League Cricket or LLCT20 is a T-20 cricket league featuring recently retired international cricketers playing competitive cricket.
The league is organized by Absolute Legends Sports Pvt. Ltd. Former Indian cricketer and India men's national cricket team coach Ravi Shastri is the Commissioner of the league.
After a successful season 1, Legends League Cricket announced the dates for a new format with its inaugural season to be held in India between 17 September and 5 October 2022.
The new season will see the league adopt a new franchise based format, which is different from the first season's region-specific format. Four new teams are expected to be launched, each being owned and operated by private ownership.
The new teams are expected to make their squads through a draft system, rather than the auction system used in the IPL. Many ex-international cricketers have confirmed their involvement.
