June 17, 2015 18:24 IST

With legends like Wasim Akram, Adam Gilchrist and Brian Lara already roped in as icon players, the Masters Champions League launched its registration process online for the UAE-based T20 tournament, slated to begin in February 20016.

"Players interested in participating in the MCL can now access the registration form from the official website of MCL. Alternately, players affiliated to the Federation of International Cricketers Association (FICA) will be emailed forms for them to enrol for the tournament," read a statement from the organisers.

"The players will need to enrol themselves by filling up the form and then submitting it for review by the governing council of MCL. Only players who have played a minimum of five international matches for their country are eligible and should submit the form," it added.

The last date for registration @ http://www.mcl2020.com/ is July 15.

MCL chairman Zafar Shah said: "This is the second stage of our process as we count down to our dream of seeing the masters in action. All the player names will go into a pool for the governing council to vet, before we begin the procedures for the player auction. I would like to thank the members of the governing council for coming up with an excellent system for the players."

The league, to be played in the UAE, will feature only retired international players in six teams.
