The week-long tournament will be held like in the first two editions at the historic Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah.

On his new role, Bravo said: “I am delighted to be the face of the 10PL World Cup of tennis ball cricket tournament. I have learned a lot of my key tricks that I am sure many of the players in the tournament will employ, especially the use of slower ball and yorkers. The tournament therefore promises to be the perfect platform for raw talents to showcase what they are capable. I am really looking forward to this competition.”

A total of 16 teams participated in the first two editions of 10PL-World Cup of tennis ball cricket and for this year nearly 40 expressions of interests have already been received by the organisers for an available 20 spots.
