Since change is the only constant in life, Last Man Stands has developed a novel format in India to identify "talented and aspiring young" cricketers in the nation.

Since the game's founding, it has changed significantly, and in the past 18 years, the introduction of new shortest formats has only increased interest.
The world's largest amateur T20 cricket league, The Last Man Stands (LMS) India Super Series, was introduced last month by former South African captain AB de Villiers.

Last Man Stands (LMS) founder Wayne Greve believes that the competition has been especially created to highlight the talents of the numerous new and future amateur players in India on a national and international platform.

"The India Super Series, a thrilling amateur cricket tournament, aims to encourage up-and-coming, talented, and talented young cricket stars. a cricket talent scout for amateurs "In a special interview with IANS, Wayne Greve stated.

"The tournament has been specifically designed to showcase, on a national and global stage, the skills of the many young and upcoming amateur players in India. With so much great cricketing talent in India, It is often challenging for individual players to be seen, let alone recognised beyond their local communities," he further said.

"The India Super Series is the only amateur organisation with a platform able to reach global and national audiences with its wide spreading coverage via global streaming/broadcast, live scores, statistics, and social media," Wayne Greve added.

Each squad will have at least two players under the age of 21 in the competition, which is scheduled to be contested in March of the following year. Each team's elder players will provide guidance to their younger comrades.

City teams who have already signed up, like Kathiwaidi, Gurgaon, and Vasai-Virar, are organising tryouts to provide the local youth in their communities with this fantastic chance.

The competition format is somewhat unusual and different. It is an 8-a-side cricket game that is played on a standard cricket field with the goals of increasing participation, developing talent, and giving amateur players exposure to situations that are often only available to professionals.

"We are thrilled to bring LMS to India. We plan to further our passion for developing an exciting version of the game. We believe in shaping the future of cricket and interconnecting global communities," said Wayne Greve.

"LMS will give an opportunity for some amateur players from overseas to be involved in teams. Expect to see South African, English, New Zealand, USA & Australian players on the team lists as each team is allowed 4 international amateur players," he added.

The India Super Series franchise in Gurgaon has been purchased by CommsCredible in the interim. The company has designated Gurgaon InCredibles as the name of its franchise.

Aman Dhall, the creator of CommsCredible, stated that their company is attempting to develop a brand with an emphasis on extending it internationally. He also clarified why it was necessary to try out for a sports team.

"While we are an integrated communications consulting firm where PR is one of the services we provide, we at a broader level are a media advocacy & PR tech start-up firm. As a start-up when you are trying to build a brand and disrupt the market, you need to be innovative with your marketing approach to stand out from the crowd. We, as a firm, believe in holistic well being and active lifestyle. I have played this format personally, and I believe it's the best 100 ball (T20) format for amateurs where you need 8-player participation. It's intense, tactical and yet a fun format where every ball counts," Aman Dhal told IANS.
