New Delhi: The presence of former India stars Ravichandran Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) will help raise the profile of the competition and attract fans, said South Africa left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, who will turn out for Glasgow Cosmic in the inaugural edition.
Ashwin will represent Dublin Guardians while Rahane will play for Amsterdam Flames in the league, which Maharaj believes has already created a strong product by bringing together prominent international names.
"Both their (Ashwin and Rahane) presence will be really felt within this league, not only from a cricketing perspective, but bringing in the fans to watch the games," Maharaj told PTI in an interview.
"We know Indian cricketers obviously have a large fan base and I think it's a wonderful drawcard to create awareness in this league," Maharaj said.
Maharaj also lauded the two Indian veterans, saying their influence would extend beyond their performances on the field.
