Goa, 1st February 2026 – The World Legends Pro T20 League brought cricket out of the stadium and onto the sands of Miramar Beach, creating a one-of-a-kind beach cricket experience that united legends, local leaders, and children in a celebration of sport, community, and Goan hospitality.
The evening sun set the perfect backdrop as cricket icons Eoin Morgan, Piyush Chawla, and Shikhar Dhawan shared the sand with young enthusiasts, while Michael Clarke added a playful touch by umpiring the session. Far from competitive matches, the beach cricket activity focused on fun, inclusion, and shared experiences, with children batting freely, legends diving into the sand, and leaders cheering from the sidelines.
The event was attended by distinguished Goan leaders, including:
- Shri Rohan Khaunte, Minister for Tourism, IT, Electronics & Communications
- Shri Govind Gaude, Ex-Sports Minister
- MLAs Priol, Mayem, Pernem, Cumbharjua
- Shri Kedar Naik, Director Tourism
Shri Rohan Khaunte said, “Goa is carving a strong identity as a premier sports tourism destination. Initiatives like the World Legends Pro T20 League showcase how sport can come alive beyond stadiums and become part of the Goan experience, connecting legends, leaders, and children in an inclusive way.”
Mahesh Bhupathi, CEO of the league, added, “Seeing legends, respected leaders, and children share the same space and enjoy the game reflects exactly what the World Legends Pro T20 League stands for—connecting cricket with the community.”
The beach cricket session reinforced Goa’s reputation for blending sport, tourism, and community engagement, offering fans and players alike a chance to enjoy the game in a relaxed, joyful environment. The session also complements the ongoing matches at the Goa 1919 Sportz Cricket Stadium, emphasizing the league’s mission to create meaningful off-field experiences.
With laughter, smiles, and sand-filled cricket balls, the Miramar Beach session captured cricket at its most human—playful, inclusive, and deeply rooted in shared experiences.
