Srinagar, Sep 12: Cricketer enthusiasts are quite excited in the Valley as 124 legends are set to land in Kashmir on October 9 to play the last leg of Legends League Cricket (LLC) in Srinagar.

Co-founder LLC, Raman Raheja while addressing media persons said that the final leg of LLC will be held at Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar.

“Football ground has been chosen for the cricket tournament due to adequate seating capacity.
