Cricketing legends Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne announced their team and squad composition for the Cricket All Stars T20 League after a draw in New York on Thursday. The much-awaited and hyped T20 league comprising of star and retired players from all across the globe is set to be played from November 7 in USA, with the venues being New York, Houston and Los Angeles.
