Cricket fans have a lot to be excited about with the archrivals ready for action. The IML has finalized the full fixtures of the much-awaited, inaugural season in which six teams- India, Australia, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies- will participate.
JioStar’s Disney+ Hotstar will co-telecast the tournament live along with Colors Cineplex (SD & HD) and Colors Cineplex Superhits for every one of those cricket enthusiasts out there. The contests will commence at 7:30 PM.
The first encounter will take place with these two Asian giants going head-to-head on February 22, 2025, with Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar leading an Indian squad against a Sri Lankan unit helmed by Kumar Sangakkara, one of Sri Lanka’s most effective captains.
“The IML use cricket’s unmatched and timeless legacy in celebration. I can’t wait to step on the ground with my brethren in an intense and competitive league, with any team fighting fiercely but fairly,” said Sachin Tendulkar the captain of the Indian team.
“Kumar Sangakkara-an ex cricketer, captain of the Sri Lankan team-says, ‘The IML stands for immortality of Cricket. Ex cricketers get at least the opportunity to bond with their peers and meet the fans again. I’m looking forward to playing this historic league with so many illustrious names.'”
“We are equally elated and honored to partner with JioStar for the IML. We are confident that JioStar and its expert sports broadcasting will make the league an unforgettable experience for cricket fans all over the globe,” said Jahan Mehta, Director, FSPM.
“We are excited to telecast the inaugural season of the International Masters League 2025 on Disney+ Hotstar, along with our linear channels Colors Cineplex and Colors Cineplex Superhits. The IML is not merely a cricket tournament; rather, it is a reunion of greatness. The thrills, commentary from experts, behind-the-scenes access, a fair amount of nostalgia-all this awaits the fans in the coming months,” said Rohan Lavsi, Head-Hindi Movies Business, JioStar.
