The All Stars T20 tournament is being held in United States. The tournament will see 28 cricket greats competing in New York, Houston and Los Angeles. The teams comprise of Sachin Tendulkar`s Blasters and Shane Warne`s Warriors.
Pakistani legend Shoaib Akhtar is on Sachin`s team and said that he is happy and relieved as he does not want to play against the cricket great. Speaking about his team selection, he said, (I am) done bowling against the Indian batting legend... (I consider Sachin a) brutal force and the greatest player history has ever seen... Thank God for that, that I am playing for Sachin and Sachin is playing for me. I have been bowling against him for last 15 years and I was not looking forward to bowling against him, to be honest..I also never wanted to have a kind of India-Pakistan thing once again... (I want) to be on Tendulkar`s team and enjoy the series... (Sachin is) a great friend, great cricketer and an amazing person... I have not seen him as a captain. I will see what kind of strategy he liked to give me and he will get to know a little bit from me that as a fast bowler what I used to think running up to him.
