The Celebrity Cricket League is set to return soon, with a total of eight teams ready to compete once again. Teams like the Karnataka Bulldozers, Mumbai Heroes, Bhojpuri Dabanggs, Telugu Warriors, Bengal Tigers, Chennai Rhinos, Kerala Strikers, and Punjab De Sher will all aim to leave their mark. This will be the 11th season of the CCL.
For those unfamiliar with its origins, the CCL was introduced in 2011, inspired by the Indian Premier League. Initially, it followed the T20 format but later switched to T10. In the last two seasons, the league adopted an innovative 20-Over Test format, where teams play two innings of 10 overs each, resembling the traditional Test match style.
The tournament will start on January 31 with a match at 6:30 PM and will run until February 23, as end with a final at 6:30 PM.
