Pravin Tambe is a former Indian leg-spinner whose remarkable journey saw him make his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals at the age of 41, making him the oldest debutant in the league’s history despite never having played first-class cricket beforehand. A product of Mumbai’s club scene, he rose through the city’s league structure over nearly two decades before his performances in an invitational T20 for DY Patil Sports Academy earned him a Rajasthan Royals contract.

Tambe became a T20 specialist, winning the Golden Wicket at the 2013 Champions League T20 and leading Rajasthan Royals’ wicket charts in IPL 2014, a season highlighted by his hat-trick against Kolkata Knight Riders in Ahmedabad. He later set a record with the first five-wicket haul in T10 cricket and, with Trinbago Knight Riders in 2020, became the first Indian cricketer to receive a CPL contract and play in the Caribbean Premier League.

Alongside his playing exploits, Tambe has also worked as a coach at the DY Patil Sports Academy, sharing his experience and helping develop emerging bowlers inspired by his unconventional path.

Daniel Marsh is a former Australian all-rounder and long-time captain of the Tasmanian Tigers, the son of legendary wicketkeeper Rod Marsh. A right-handed batter and slow left-arm orthodox bowler, he began his career with South Australia, later becoming a mainstay for Tasmania and also turning out for Leicestershire in county cricket.

Marsh led Tasmania to some of the most significant titles in their history, including the 2004-05 ING Cup, where he scored a crucial half-century in the final, the state’s maiden Pura Cup win in 2006-07, and another one-day crown in 2007-08. Widely respected for his composure and tactical nous, he effectively captained Tasmania through much of the 2000s before retiring from first-class cricket at the end of the 2009-10 season.
