Through Blitz T-20, we aim to provide a robust and a credible platform for not only non-established Indian Players but also for international players who have played in several domestic leagues as well as county cricket."As of now, Blitz T-20 have received several applications from players across several countries who are willing to showcase their exceptional cricketing skills.
