ETPL: Bollywood’s famous action star John Abraham has also entered the world of cricket. John Abraham has bought a stake in the first European T20 Premier League (ETPL) franchise Rotterdam Dockers as a co-owner. In this tournament, which will run from 26 August to 20 September, teams from six European cities will face each other. John is not the only Bollywood name in the leadership group of Rotterdam Dockers. He is also accompanied by cricket legend Jonty Rhodes, former South African captain Faf du Plessis and explosive batsman Heinrich Klaasen.

The managing partner of the team is Madhukar Shree, who has also been active in the sports business before.

John also owns an ISL team

Let us tell you that John Abraham has a long association with sports. He also owns NorthEast United FC in the Indian Super League (ISL). Now by investing in cricket, he has made his presence felt in the European market. ETPL is jointly organized by the cricket boards of Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands. Its purpose is to give a new identity to cricket in Europe.

Six teams will participate in this tournament—Glasgow, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast and Rotterdam. A total of 32 matches will be played during this period and the final will be held on September 20.

ICC also approved this league

ICC has also approved this league, from which international players are expected to come. John Abraham expressed happiness over this partnership. He said, “Cricket and cinema bring people together. Through Rotterdam Dockers, I want to be a part of the development of cricket in Europe.

It is an honor to work with great players like Jonty, Faf and Klaasen.

The arrival of ETPL will give a big boost to T20 cricket in Europe. Cricket is less popular than football here, but teams like Netherlands and Scotland have caught everyone’s attention in the World Cup. Local talent will get a chance to play with international stars in the league. Organizers hope that this league will also become a big brand like IPL and SA20 in the next few years.
