Speaking after unveiling the poster of the tournament at a brief function held here on Thursday, former Indian Captain Azharuddin said, 'Industries need some relaxation, and a cricket league for industries is a very good idea. They need to play sports to keep fit and lead an active lifestyle, he said.
Azharuddin said along with cricket, they must also organise tournaments for other sports. We need to encourage other sports as well.
Replying to a question, the former captain said the real romance in cricket is test matches. Without them, the sport will lose its sheen.
