The second season of the Road Safety World Series is set to begin on September 10th. Over the course of 22 days, the tournament will be held in four different cities. Kanpur will host the first few matches of the season. The first season of the tournament was divided into two parts, 2020 and 2021. The first season was supposed to conclude in early 2020. The tournament was, however, rescheduled for a later date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last year, India Legends won the tournament after defeating Sri Lanka Legends in the finals. The tournament also included the West Indies, Australia, South Africa, England, and Bangladesh, in addition to India and Sri Lanka. This time, New Zealand will compete alongside the existing teams in the upcoming season. Here’s everything you need to know about the second Road Safety World Series.
