DALLAS (US), Aug 19: Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar will mentor one of the six teams at the inaugural Sixty Strikes Tournament scheduled to begin here on October 4.
The University of Texas at Dallas is partnering with the National Cricket League USA in hosting the tournament, which will last 10 days and feature six different teams from around the world. Team leaders include the likes of Mohammad Kaif, Sunil Narine, Dwayne Bravo, Mohammad Amir, Angelo Mathews, Jason Roy, Mohammad Nabi, Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Shahid Afridi and Kamran Akmal, according to a release.
Mentors will include Dilip Vengsarkar and Zaheer Abbas, and Vivian Richards and Sanath Jayasuriya have been named among the coaches.
"Texas is proud to host the inaugural Sixty Strikes Tournament," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said.
"Earlier this year, Texas hosted the first T20 Cricket World Cup in the United States, and our great state has welcomed the Major League Cricket and National Cricket League USA - both of which have a presence and teams in North Texas. As cricket expands its global fan base, Texas will hold front-row seats to its growth across the nation."
The Sixty Strikes event will feature a shortened 60-ball format known for power hitting and high-scoring matches. The quick, action-packed games typically last around 90 minutes and allow players to be more aggressive while showcasing their skills.
UT Dallas President Richard C. Benson said that many in the "UT Dallas community play or follow the game," which made the partnership an easy decision for the university.
