It will be a different kind of monsoon magic for the cricket lovers of the City of Destiny in the ongoing inaugural edition of the Shreeram Group-sponsored Andhra Premier League (APL) T-20 cricket championship featuring six franchisees.
For Andhra Cricket Association and the Visakhapatnam District Cricket Association which have won all-round appreciation for the successful conduct of international fixtures over the last few years, this APL can well be another feather in the cap.
The APL is conceptualised with the intent of providing a chance for the average fan of the high-profile Indian Premier League to see the domestic talent available and also give the young talent a feel of what it means to play in coloured clothing and white balls.
