Sachin has arrived in the UK. He doesn’t play international Twenty20, but he’s in London because he owns a house here and him and his family like to come to England for a break from the intense spotlight he’s under in India. Naturally, he gets recognised by the many cricket fans in the London, but he can get around town, go and see a movie and have a family day-out without getting mobbed.
Far be it from us to disturb Sachin while he’s getting a well-earned rest, so while he’s chilling out we get on with preparing for June 11. We’ve got a full schedule of events planned for Sachin during the day, including a school visit in the morning and one-on-one interviews with four premium titles – luxury men’s mag GQ, leading English cricket magazine The Wisden Cricketer plus The Independent and The Times newspapers – to publicise the Opus and website.
RSVPs are flooding in from newspapers, magazines and TV stations, keen to find about more about the Tendulkar Opus. Space is at a premium, so only a few invited guests will be allowed to attend, plus two lucky winners of a competition to meet Sachin we are running with The London Paper.
We will have a cameraman with Sachin all day to record events for this website, a webcam operator plus our two superb Opus photographers, Andy Cantillon and Russell Lee.
Meanwhile, Kraken’s events coordinators, Dipesh Davadra and Hannah Cocking are taking care of the many logistical issues that go into organising a high-profile event like this – everything from making sure there will be enough seats for the pressmen to organising security on the door, booking cars to ferry Sachin and the whole Opus team around on the day to sourcing suitable caterers to provide gourmet canapés for the evening.
