Cricket All-Stars (also known as Cricket All-Stars Series) was an exhibition Twenty20 cricket series took place in the United States in 2015. The series features two lineups of renowned retired cricket players from around the world, led by cricket icons – Sachin Tendulkar of India and Shane Warne of Australia.




Background


The inagural series was held across three cities in the United States. A second series was announced to be held in September/October 2017 but later it got scrapped due to issues between Sachin Tendulkar & Shane Warne; it hasn't returned thereafter.




Teams


The All-Stars Series was a set of games played between Sachin's Blasters led by Sachin Tendulkar and Warne's Warriors led by Shane Warne. The two captains selected their respective squads by randomly drawing out the player names on 5 November 2015 at Times Square.




Venues


All three matches of the series played in baseball stadiums. Initially in June 2015, Wrigley Field in Chicago and Yankee Stadium in New York were booked as venues, along with Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. However, in October 2015, the former two venues were replaced by New York Mets' home ballpark Citi Field and Houston Astros' home ballpark Minute Maid Park. The first match was a day game in New York, while the second and third played under lights in Houston and Los Angeles respectively.
A curator from New Zealand was hired to prepare drop-in pitches in Minneapolis to be delivered to the three stadiums.
