Playing in LLC reminds you how lucky you were to be a professional cricketer for so long. Ian Bell

According to Ian Bell, participating in the current Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2024 in front of enthusiastic audiences brings back memories of his career as an international cricket player. The former England batsman is leading the India Capitals in the franchise tournament’s third iteration.

Bell is among the best hitters who have ever represented England, particularly when playing red-ball cricket. At an average of 42.69, he concluded with 7,727 runs from 118 Tests. In the longest format of the game, he is ranked eighth among England’s top scorers. The Walsgrave native talked about his experience playing the beautiful game among former legends on the sidelines of LLC 2024.

“It has been amazing to return and play more cricket, even though I suppose my playing days are over and I now coach.” You no longer get these chances to perform in front of appreciative audiences after you hang up your boots. It does make you realize how fortunate you were to play professional cricket for so long,” Bell said, according to an India Today statement.

What is Ian Bell’s current LLC 2024 performance?

In LLC 2024, India Capitals have won one game and lost a few thus far. The rain forced them to abandon two of their games. Bell has only scored 17 runs in 24 balls over two innings, indicating that he has not been at his best with the bat. In the second part of the competition, fans are hoping to witness some of the 42-year-old’s exquisite strokes.
