MPG calls entries for first season of The Muthoot Blue League of Dreams

‘The Muthoot Blue League of Dreams’, a nation-wide sporting initiative by Muthoot Pappachan Group (MPG), announced its maiden ‘call for entries’ for its very first season. The campaign kicked off on April 12 with ‘call for nominations/entries’ across India.

This is an unique opportunity for sporting talent as the shortlisted teams will have the chance to play alongside four biggest names in the game of international cricket: Zaheer Khan, Brett Lee, Herschelle Gibbs and Jonty Rhodes. The primary objective of the league is to promote the talent of budding street cricketers across India and Muthoot Pappachan Group is focussed on providing them a platform to realise their dreams and passion for this game.

The selection of the shortlisted teams will take place on the basis of their ‘passion impossible’ stories submitted  on ‘The Muthoot Blue League of Dreams’ microsite (www.muthootblueleagueofdreams.com). This will be open to all the sporting enthusiasts in the country who can vote for their favourite team and choose the best four teams as finalists. After the selection, finalists will not only get to play alongside these renowned cricketers, but also get the privilege of skippering them. Scheduled during the week of May 14, the event will see some of the brightest talent at a face-off alongside their favourite international cricket sensations. This will be a great opportunity for these aspiring cricketers to learn ‘from the best’ and showcase their talent on field.
