Question 1

What is a corporate cricket league?

Accepted Answer

A corporate cricket league is an organised cricket competition for working professionals rather than full-time cricketers. BCPL runs a franchise-style T20 league where salaried employees, business owners, freelancers and other working professionals across India can register, be assessed on their cricket skills and play competitive matches.

Question 2

Who can play in BCPL?

Accepted Answer

Any working professional aged 18 to 50 years (as on the date of registration) can register — salaried employees, self-employed individuals, freelancers or business owners. You must be currently employed or actively running a business, and not currently under a first-class or professional cricket contract. League, association, state or district cricket needs a 10-year gap.

Question 3

How does the process work?

Accepted Answer

You register online and choose your playing role, then upload a 30–90 second cricket skills video within 15 days of your Phase 1 payment (all-rounders upload two separate 30–90 second clips — one batting, one bowling). Your submission is assessed under BCPL's role-specific Phase 1 framework and your result is shared once the assessment is complete. Players who advance can choose to attend a physical trial in Phase 2.

Question 4

Do I need to be a trained cricketer?

Accepted Answer

No formal training is required. Basic cricket experience and genuine passion for the game are enough. The Phase 1 assessment is evaluation-based and looks at your role-specific skills shown in your video.

Question 5

When does the BCPL season take place?

Accepted Answer

The season runs in phases: online registration and video assessment, followed by physical trials, then the auction and the T20 matches. Registration typically opens ahead of the season so working professionals have time to register and submit their video.
