The tournament is scheduled for September 1 to 23 and will be telecast live by Star Sports.
The illustrious Karnataka captain has a bunch of exciting players whom he believes have the potential to win the coveted title. Hubli Tigers had finished runner-up in the last two editions of the KPL – 2015 and 2016.
“I am happy to be associated with Hubli Tigers. There are a lot of talented lads in the squad. I am confident that they will put their hands together to achieve our goal.
“I have been part of the KPL from its inception, but the title had eluded me. As a player and captain, this is a good opportunity to add another feather in my cap,” said Vinay, who had led Karnataka to a rare double-triple in domestic cricket.
“I had a discussion with the team owners. They are very supportive. It will be great if we win the elusive cup for them,” said Vinay.
Dashing opener Mayank Agarwal, all rounder Praveen Dubey, David Mathias and Abhishek Reddy are the key players in the Hubli Tigers’ squad.
“Hubli Tigers believe in fair play. I want the players to go and express themselves on the field. We are in it, to win it, “said team owner Sushil Kumar Jindal, who has adopted a tiger at the Mysore Zoo.
Hubli Tigers will play their first match on September 2 at the M Chinnaswamy stadium.
