Watch: Gemini Arabians jersey launch event

The jersey launch event of the Gemini Arabians side was a stunner, an extraordinary event. It was one of its kind simply because not every time you see a jersey launch happening in the sky.

The Masters Cricket League franchise Gemini Arabians slowly descended from the sky at the Skydive Dubai. Three professional skydivers unveiled the official logo of the franchise in the skies of Dubai.

Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag, who will be playing dual role of a leader and team director for the franchise was present and spoke at the event.

“The tournament is going to be a good one for the retired legendary cricketers. There is an opportunity for them to extend their careers. When it comes to my team [Gemini Arabians], we have been working hard. We will play positive cricket so that we can win the championship.”
