The tournament will feature 19 high-intensity matches, boasting a line-up of six teams – Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Srinagar.
Bachchan said being part of the league marks a new beginning for him.
"A new day .. and a new enterprise .. For me an honour and a privilege to be with Mumbai as Team Owner, and to be privy to the surge of talent erupt, for a grand visionary future .." the 81-year-old actor wrote on his personal blog.
He described the ISPL as an exciting and a noble concept.
