Bengaluru: Former India captain Ajinkya Rahane on Friday joined Amsterdam Flames as a marquee player in the inaugural European T20 Premier League, hoping to make global impact through the opportunity that came to him the day he announced his international retirement. "It's a great opportunity for me. "This (ETPL) gives them that exposure to play with different players, play with international players. So I think this is a great market, a great opportunity for the European players to showcase their talent," he said. His experience, leadership and character will be invaluable as we build Amsterdam Flames into one of Europe's premier cricket clubs."
