Gibbs passionately spoke about the league’s goals highlighting that the name says a lot.
“Intercontinental is a bit more about affiliation because continents are involved and that makes the league competitive and different from the other ongoing leagues. There’s rivalry, intensity and much more… Even though it’s legends’ cricket, one thing that never fades from the game is competitiveness. I believe the league has a lot to offer in terms of intensity, rivalries on the field apart from its high standard cricket action,” the former Protea batter said.
The former India quick added: “When we quit international cricket, we don’t focus on fitness much. But thanks to the Legends leagues, we can play with that competitiveness again and it’s thrilling to be back in action. ILC is one of the best among the ongoing leagues and I’m proud to be part of it.”
