Citi Field hosts Cricket All-Star Series opener

Baseball season is over, but there will be bats and balls and runs scored at Citi Field on Saturday afternoon.

The inaugural Cricket All-Star Series, headlined by some of the sport's biggest stars, is scheduled to begin Saturday at 1 p.m. ET at Citi Field in New York. The three-game series will also tour through Houston and Los Angeles.

The teams will be led by India's Sachin Tendulkar, the most prolific run producer in the history of cricket, and Australia's Shane Warne, considered one of the best spin bowlers ever. This series will be the first time either cricket legend has ever played in the United States.
