'MCL has all ingredients to be a successful tournament'

Legendary South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis is excited to be a part of the newly-launched Masters Champions League (MCL) as he feels that it has ‘all ingredients’ to become a successful venture.

"I think it is a fantastic initiative. It's got all the ingredients to be a very successful tournament. The guys are super excited about it. We can't wait for it to start," said Kallis, who is now a mentor with IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders and is also playing in the upcoming Caribbean Premier League.

"I will do my best to make sure the tournament is a success. We are also very excited about the venue. I have been to UAE on many occasions and find it a great place to play cricket. There are also lots to do away from the cricket field," an excited Kallis added.
