As one of the official sponsors of the matches being hosted in the valley, GR8 Sports continues to strengthen its ties with the cricketing world while promoting the rich quality of Kashmir Willow bats on the global stage.
A significant leg of the 2024 edition of the Legends League Cricket, a grand event featuring iconic players from around the globe, is being held in Kashmir for the first time. GR8 Sports’ collaboration not only underscores its commitment to supporting cricket at all levels but also brings the spotlight to the valley’s renowned sports manufacturing industry. The matches, set against the stunning backdrop of Kashmir, highlight the region’s growing prominence in the world of sports.
During all the seven (7) matches to be played at the Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar, GR8 will felicitate ‘The Game Changer of The Match’ with its exquisite Kashmir Willow bat so as to showcase Kashmir Willow Bat Industry at a more meaningful platform. Further, with every Sixer hit during the matches played in Kashmir, GR8 will be planting 12 trees. This green initiative is a joint effort of GR8 Sports and CIED- IUST Foundation (Centre of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development, Islamic University, Awantipora).
