What is the whole World T20 Continent Cup controversy? The first edition of the World T20 Continent Cup is to be played very soon to be hosted by Hong Kong, in which retired veteran cricketers from all over the world will be seen taking part. In this league, teams like Asia Warriors, Africa Lions, Europe Champions and North America Eagles will compete against each other. For the last few days, there were reports in the media that Shikhar Dhawan will be seen playing for the 'Asia Warriors' team in this tournament, and former Pakistan players Iftikhar Ahmed and Sohail Tanvir can also be included in the same team. Only after these news came to light, Shikhar Dhawan came forward and rejected all these claims outright. This new league is to be organized in December. This is the first season of the World T20 Continent Cup, which is to be organized in the month of December this year. More than 60 former international players are going to participate in this tournament. However, the complete and official schedule of this league has not been released yet by the organizers. It was also discussed that famous former players like Dwayne Smith, Jerome Taylor, Upul Tharanga, Abhimanyu Mithun and Rahul Sharma can also be seen playing in this league, but after this tough stance of Shikhar Dhawan, the problems of the organizers may increase.
