India icon Sachin Tendulkar has revealed he will "start batting in the nets soon" in preparation for the three-match 'Cricket All-Stars Series' tour of the USA in November.
Cricket's greatest run-scorer teamed up with Australia legend Shane Warne last week to launch the T20 exhibition matches, which will be played in New York, Houston and Los Angeles next month and feature many of the game's most famous names in years gone by.
Tendulkar and Warne will captain opposing teams during the series and the 42-year-old told Sport360 exclusively that he will be putting the pads on again in the coming weeks for the first time since appearing at Lord's in the Home of Cricket's Bicentenary celebration match back in July 2014.
