Steve Waugh played 168 Tests and 325 one-day internationals for Australia
Former Australia captain Steve Waugh is among the franchise investors in a men's European T20 tournament set to be played by city-based teams in Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands later this year.
The six-team European T20 Premier League (ETPL) was meant to launch in 2025, but the event was postponed because the sales of the participating franchises were not completed in time.
However, deals have now been agreed for three of the franchises with two separate groups of investors from Australia and one from New Zealand.
One of those is led by Waugh, who is heading up the Amsterdam Flames, which is backed by a consortium that includes former Australian field hockey player Jamie Dwyer and Australian businessman Tim Thomas.
