Some words of ECB General Secretary
“League management is pleased to have one of India’s biggest performers at the ILT20 opening ceremony,” Mubashshir Usmani, General Secretary of the Emirates Cricket Board, remarked about Badshah’s performance at the ILT20 opening ceremony.
It is of the utmost importance for us to get off to a blazing start, and Badshah will most definitely help to enthrall the fans before the cricketers work their magic on our three (competition) sites. We would also like to use this opportunity to express our gratitude to Badshah for producing the ILT20 Anthem. We cannot contain our excitement at being able to share this with those in our community who adore cricket.
Before his exhilarating performance, Badshah expressed his emotions to the audience, saying, “I am happy to be performing at the ILT20 opening ceremony.” My entire life, I have been a major fan of cricket, and it is an honour to be playing at what has all the makings of being one of the most significant Twenty20 leagues in front of some of the most famous cricket stars and fans from across the world. Creating the anthem for the ILT20 is also an exhilarating endeavour. When it is played in the stadiums, I do not doubt that the spectators will embrace it and show their support.
Usmani dropped hints about another charismatic international talent who will be there to debut the league alongside Badshah, which helped ramp up the hype around the first night. “The League’s opening match will be well-complemented by an additional world-class performance that will help start proceedings,” said the spokesperson. Soon, we will provide fans with additional information on this exciting performance and instructions on how they can get tickets to attend the ILT20 and witness all the activities that will take place there.
The inaugural ILT20 will debut in January 2023. It will be played in 34 matches at world-class cricket grounds in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The tournament has received multi-year approval from the ICC.
