Batting icon Sachin Tendulkar was recently spotted alongside fellow cricket legends from Pakistan during a visit to the National Cricket League (NCL) in Dallas, USA. The event, which took place at the University of Texas cricket ground from October 4 to 14, showcased the T10 format and was promoted under the banner of "Sixty Strikes."

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram, who accompanied Tendulkar on the sidelines, shared a memorable photograph featuring the Indian maestro alongside other cricket greats, including batting legend Zaheer Abbas and former wicketkeeper Moin Khan.

Tendulkar's role as a co-owner of the NCL is pivotal in fostering the growth of cricket in the United States. Through this innovative tournament format, he is dedicated to introducing the sport to new audiences and expanding its reach across America. 

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar honoured by Dallas Cowboys during NFL Game

The legendary Sachin Tendulkar was presented with a custom Number 10 jersey by team owner Jerry Jones in a special honour during a Dallas Cowboys NFL game here.

Earlier on Sunday, Tendulkar kicked off the NCL's community outreach efforts by inspiring hundreds of young athletes at the University of Texas at Dallas.

"Cricket has given me so much, and being here in Dallas—both teaching these young athletes and receiving this incredible recognition—has been truly humbling," Tendulkar said.

"Inspiring these kids and sharing my journey with them has been incredibly fulfilling. I want them to know that with dedication, passion, and belief, they can achieve anything—whether on the cricket field or in life."

The NCL has quickly gained attention for blending world-class cricket with cultural events and community-focused initiatives with the tournament set to conclude on Monday.

Featuring stars like Shahid Afridi, Suresh Raina, Shakib Al Hasan, and Chris Lynn, the NCL is establishing itself as a premier event on the global cricket stage.

Headquartered in Dallas, the National Cricket League also attracted cricket legends such as Sunil Gavaskar, Wasim Akram, and Sir Vivian Richards to mentor the players.

The event is endorsed by the ICC and supported by SEE Holdings. (With inputs from Agencies)
