Ambati Rayudu is set to become the first former India cricketer to play in a domestic T20 league other than the IPL as he has been roped in by the Texas Super Kings for the upcoming Major League Cricket (MLC). The inaugural edition of the tournament in the US will be played from July 13 to 31 across two venues.
The Texas Super Kings will play the tournament opener against Los Angeles Knight Riders at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.
Rayudu recently announced his retirement from the Indian Premier League after winning the title with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) under MS Dhoni.
Rayudu will be joined in the Texas squad by his CSK teammates Devon Conway, Mitchell Santner and coach Stephen Fleming, who will be in charge here as well.
Dwayne Bravo, who was the bowling coach of CSK in IPL 2023, will take part in the MLC as an all-rounder for Texas. Hard-hitting South African batter David Miller and Australian fast bowler Daniel Sams will also be a part of the squad.
