Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is set to soon visit Texas where he will lead a special cricket clinic as part of the National Cricket League (NCL) finals weekend. The clinic which will be hosted at the University of Texas in Dallas, aims to motivate aspiring cricketers and promote the sport at the grassroot level in the United States.
“Cricket has given me so much, and now it’s my turn to give back,” Tendulkar said ahead of the event scheduled for Sunday morning.
“I’m excited to meet these young players and show them that with hard work and passion, anything is possible,” Tendulkar added.
Also, Tendulkar will also be a special guest at the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday, further highlighting his high-profile engagement in the American sports scene.
“This is about more than cricket, it’s about inspiring hope and dreams. Having someone of Sachin’s caliber mentoring these kids is a game-changer,” NCL Chairman Arun Agarwal said emphasizing the significance of Tendulkar’s involvement in the event.
The NCL’s finals weekend will be more than just a cricket tournament. Alongside the matches, fans will enjoy cultural celebrations, live Bollywood performances, and nightly themes, ranging from honoring local heroes to promoting sustainability. The tournament will conclude on October 14 in Dallas.
The NCL has attracted top cricketing talent, with icons like Sunil Gavaskar, Wasim Akram, and Sir Vivian Richards mentoring players.
This season also features stars like Shahid Afridi, Suresh Raina, Shakib Al Hasan, and Chris Lynn, making the NCL a premier event on the global cricket stage.
