The trailer for the second season of Amazon Prime Video’s original web series Inside Edge has been released. The show is set in the high-stakes world of professional cricket and is based on a fictional T20 cricket league called the Power-Play League.
A new character, played by Aamir Bashir, is introduced in the trailer. He is determined to make cricket a global enterprise and is not averse to using underhanded means to do so. The trailer suggests this season will be hit with doping scandals, rivalries, bidding wars and power games.
