Jammu, Oct 3: International cricket stars took time off from their preparations for the upcoming Legends Cricket Tournament to visit Jammu Tawi Golf Course in Sidhra today. The visiting athletes included George Worker (New Zealand), Shaun Marsh (Australia), Peter Trevor (England), and Sachin Rana (India).
