The support from the Jammu and Kashmir administration, including Lt Governor Manoj Sinha’s expected attendance, adds to the event’s significance.
Over 100 cricketing greats, including Mohammad Kaif, Yusuf Pathan, Shane Watson, Chris Gayle, and more, will grace the matches, elevating the excitement. Security measures are robust, with Inspector General of Police, Jammu zone, Anand Jain, overseeing arrangements for law and order, transportation, and player accommodation.
