Gazi Tank Cricketers owner Lutfur Rahman Badal will fly in Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on October 14 to unveil the logo and the new name for their club – ‘Legends of Rupganj’ - in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League (DPL).
This will be the first visit for the batting genius in Bangladesh since he retired from cricket. “The Legends of Rupganj name was pending for many days which have been approved in yesterday’s (Tuesday) board meeting. As I earlier informed that I will bring Sachin Tendulkar whenever the name gets the approval. I have finalised this after talking with him (Sachin) today (yesterday) morning and if everything goes well then he is expected to arrive in Bangladesh on October 14,” said Badal.
He also informed Sachin will fly from Guahati in a chartered plane after attending a programme and spend the day in Dhaka before leaving for Mumbai at night.
The unveiling ceremony will be held at Hotel Westin in the capital and the 41-year old batting maestro is also expected to visit a school in Rupganj as part of a CSR programme of Unicef.
