Following the successful debut of its inaugural season, BNW Developments has announced the return of the BNW Legends Cup 2.0, continuing its position as a corporate cricket tournament for professionals from the UAE’s real estate sector.
The second edition commenced on 10 January at The Sevens Stadium, Dubai, with Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag attending the opening match. The tournament will run until mid-February and features 48 participating teams, including two home teams—BNW Mavericks and BNW Icons. This season introduces an enhanced prize offering, including a new car and a championship trophy.
Building on its first edition, which brought together leading brokerage houses from across the region, BNW Legends Cup 2.0 expands in scale while maintaining its focus on sportsmanship and professional networking. The tournament is led by BNW Sports Director S. Sreesanth, former Indian international cricketer, and continues to highlight collaboration, discipline, and performance both on and off the field.
Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments, said, “Growing up in India, cricket was never just a game; it was where we learned to dream, on the streets, driven by passion, teamwork, and resilience. With the BNW Legends Cup 2.0, our vision is to bring that same spirit of camaraderie to the UAE’s real estate community, uniting professionals beyond titles and competition.”
Dr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, Managing Director and Co-Founder of BNW Developments, added,
“Cricket has been a lifelong passion for me, and the BNW Legends Cup is deeply personal. It mirrors our industry perfectly. On the field, players compete fiercely for every run. Off the field, they collaborate with the same intensity to close the next big deal. This tournament is about building bonds that go beyond the boundary rope.”
S. Sreesanth, Sports Director at BNW Developments, commented, “Cricket has been my guide, my discipline, and my emotional anchor through every phase of life. The BNW Legends Cup brings that spirit to life. Watching players compete for pride and brotherhood rather than contracts is a reminder of why this sport will always feel like home.”
The inaugural edition of the BNW Legends Cup featured participation from international cricketers including Chris Gayle, S. Sreesanth, and Shikhar Dhawan, contributing to strong engagement across the league.
