How do I register?

Accepted Answer

Visit www.bcplt20.com, fill the registration form, choose your playing role (Batsman, Bowler, Wicket-Keeper, or All-Rounder), select your nearest trial city, and pay ₹299 (inclusive of GST, the same for every role). The entire process takes just 5 minutes.

Question 2

Who can participate in BCPL?

Accepted Answer

Any working professional aged 18 to 50 years (as on the date of registration) can participate — salaried employees, self-employed individuals, freelancers, or business owners. You must be currently employed or actively running a business. If you have ever played league, association, state or district cricket, a minimum 10-year gap since you last played such cricket is required.

Question 3

Is the registration fee refundable?

Accepted Answer

No. Once a Phase 1 payment is successfully completed, the fee is non-refundable — including if you do not upload a video, upload late, upload an invalid video, withdraw, or do not qualify. Limited exceptions such as duplicate payments and BCPL not declaring a result for a valid submission within the published period are set out in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Question 4

What is Phase 1?

Accepted Answer

Phase 1 is a video-based assessment stage. After registering and paying the Phase 1 fee, you upload a 30–90 second cricket skills video within 15 days of your Phase 1 payment (all-rounders: two videos — batting and bowling, 30–90 seconds each). Your submission is assessed under BCPL's role-specific Phase 1 framework, and your result is shared within 15 days of video submission.

Question 5

How much does Phase 1 cost by role?

Phase 1 costs ₹299, inclusive of GST, for every playing role (Batsman, Bowler, Wicket-Keeper and All-Rounder). The exact amount is displayed at the time of payment.
