2024 Kerala Cricket League |
Kerala Cricket League is a Twenty20 franchise cricket tournament in Kerala, India.[1][2] It is organised by the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) and sanctioned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.[3][4][5][6][7][8] The first season has been held at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, contested by six teams.
History
[edit]Launched in August 2024, the league aimed to add high-profile matches and expose talented players from the state districts.[9][10][11] Mohanlal has been roped in as the brand ambassador of the tournament.
Participating teams are Trivandrum Royals, Thrissur Titans, Kochi Blue Tigers, Kollam Sailors, Calicut Globstars and Alleppey Ripples.
The tournament is scheduled to take place from September 2 to 18 at the Greenfield International Stadium. Each team has picked up iconic players - Mohammed Azharuddeen (Alleppey Ripples), Rohan S Kunnummal (Calicut Globstars), Basil Thampi (Kochi Blue Tigers), Sachin Baby (Kollam Sailors), Vishnu Vinod (Thrissur Titans) and Abdul Basith (Trivandrum Royals).[12]
The player auction took place on 10th August, where a total of 168 players registered, with each team allowed to pick a maximum of 20 players.[13]
The six teams play each other twice in the group stage, before the top four move to the semi-final.
Teams acquire players through an auction as opposed to a draft, making it the second cricket league in the states after the Tamil Nadu Premier League and Andhra Premier League to do so. Each team purchases a squad of 20 players, with the opportunity of signing up to five players prior to the auction.
A team can acquire players through the annual player auction during trading windows, and signing replacements for unavailable players. Unsold players can become replacement signings.
