The inaugural edition of the Super 60 Legends USA has received a significant boost with the inclusion of Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan and Sri Lanka’s Thisara Perera. Their participation strengthens the tournament’s ambition to attract global talent and promote its high-octane 60-ball format in one of the world’s emerging cricket markets, the United States.

Regarded as the most iconic figure in Bangladesh’s cricketing history, Shakib will represent the Detroit Falcons in this exciting new competition. His involvement strengthens the franchise’s bowling arsenal and adds immense international experience to the squad.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Shakib remarked, “Playing in a unique setting especially such as in the United States of America definitely encourages you to embrace formats like the 60-ball game. Even though I’ve played a lot of T10 cricket this seems like a great opportunity to take part in the sport in a competitive setting.”
