Abu Dhabi (UAE): Young entrepreneur Sainab Sahra Rizvi has strengthened her presence in the cricket franchise arena. Co-owner of the India Champions team in the World Championship of Legends (WCL), Sainab has embarked on a new chapter as co-owner of the United Tigers team in the Abu Dhabi T10 League.
