West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo and former Pakistani pacer Abdul Razzaq are the latest additions to team royal in the upcoming St Moritz Ice Cricket 2018.
Bravo is the first west indies player to join the league where the cricketers will be battling out in the snow at the luxury alpine resort town in Switzerland’s Engadin Valley, which has hosted the winter Olympics twice.
Director of the league Akhilesh Bahuguna says that with a special concept of ice cricket and cricketers like Bravo, Shaid Afridi, and Razzaq joining it along with the global crops of players, the place will definitely position itself as one of a kind sports travel destination in the world.
The inaugural edition of the event will be held on February 8 and 9, 2018 and the unique two-day event is set against the serene and breath-taking backdrop of the Swiss mountains which will host two matches in two days.
The two teams, Badrutt’s Palace Diamonds, and Royals already have star-studded cricketers like Shahid Afridi, Virender Sehwag, Mohammad Kaif, Mahela Jayewardene, Lasith Malinga, Shoaib Akhtar, Michael Hussey, Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis, Grant Elliot, Monty Panesar and Owais Shah.
