Purpose and goals of Celebrity Cricket League (CCL)

The primary purpose of the Celebrity Cricket League lies in its ability to merge two apparently different worlds, “cricket and entertainment”.

The CCL follows a T10 format, a shorter and faster version of the game. As of now eight teams from various film industries are participating in the tournament. Each team consists of a mix of actors, directors, producers and other celebrities associated with the respective film industry. Teams compete in a round-robin format, followed by knockout rounds leading to the grand final.
