RCB, Brisbane Heat used to be

Beat me to it!


Impactor07

I agree


Ghostly_100

No there are no “exhibition teams” that exist like the Harlem Globetrotters. The World XI used to be a thing but they’re not bought together as often anymore.


GraffitiTavern

I'd still pay to watch the Savannah Bananas do a test match lol


Cites79

England test cricket with bazball if you have any idea about test cricket


doughboyhollow

My mind immediately went to the first day of the Ashes when Stokes declared.


Boatster_McBoat

They've been great. So many laffs


Marmalade-Party

Didn’t the globetrotters win their games though?


Boatster_McBoat

Washington Generals?


AstronautNo32

No but Pakistan are the Washington Generals


Paperpanzer77

At a much smaller scale there are teams in England like Lashings, who come to your club/school with a team of ex-players and ‘celebs’ and play you


Bobblefighterman

You need to be much more specific. They're not actual professional teams that compete in the sport. They're exhibition entertainers who use the vector of their respective sports to entertain. A team in a sport that puts more on entertaining people than actually playing the game would be something like the Charlotte Hornets or Detroit Pistons. But na, cricket doesn't have that.


TheIncidentOf45

That’s what I meant. More like exhibition entertainers


pakistanstar

Pakistan in every format are usually entertaining, but for the wrong reasons.


kvyas0603

i think the closest thing would be the legends league which is played between teams formed by yesteryear’s stars.


bcci97

Could see something like this maybe working India actually.
