Rahane signs with Amsterdam Flames for inaugural ETPL

Former India captain Ajinkya Rahane has signed with the Amsterdam Flames as the franchise’s marquee player for the inaugural edition of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL), set to begin on August 26.

On July 30, Rahane announced his retirement from international cricket and all formats. Rahane represented India in 85 Tests, 90 ODIs and 20 T20Is for India,



while his final international appearance came against the West Indies in a two-game Test series in July 2023.

Cricket has given me so much, and I’ve always believed that players have a responsibility to leave the game stronger than they found it. Europe is entering an exciting phase and has the potential to become one of cricket’s most promising frontiers.
