India stars Shubman Gill, Arshdeep Singh, Abhishek Sharma, and IPL talents Prabhsimran Singh and Ramandeep Singh are some of the big names set to feature in the upcoming Sher-e-Punjab T20 League, which was unveiled on Sunday.

The official logo of the tournament — to be played between August 30 and September 13 — was launched at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) International Cricket Stadium at Mullanpur.

However, Gill, India’s Test and ODI skipper, and pacer Gurnoor Brar will be on national duty in Sri Lanka until August 28.

Gill said the event is going to provide a great opportunity for all the young players who want to play for Punjab or represent India.

“It is going to be a great platform for all of them,” said Gill during the function which was attended by PCA president Amarjeet Mehta and secretary Gurmeet Singh.

A total of six teams will compete in 27 matches for the coveted title. The tournament will be played in a round-robin format, and each franchise will have one marquee player and at least two icon players.
