About Bengal T20 League:
The Bengal T20 League is a franchise-based T20 cricket competition organised under the aegis of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). Now in its third season, the league has established itself as West Bengal’s premier domestic T20 platform, built on the belief that cricket in Bengal has always been more than a sport — it is a matter of identity. The league features eight city-based franchises representing the breadth of West Bengal – Adamas Howrah Warriors, Novus Royals Purulia, Kolkata Royal Tigers, Murshidabad Kings & Kueens, Rashmi Nes Medinipur Wizards, Servotech Siliguri Strikers, Shrachi Rarh Tigers, and Sobisco Smashers Malda — competing across men’s and women’s competitions. Men’s matches are held at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, with women’s matches at the JU Salt Lake Campus, Kolkata. Season 3 is anchored by the theme Ebar Jombe Khela! – a rallying cry that captures the league’s spirit: fierce, uncompromising, and unmistakably Bengal. The league’s identity draws from the state’s folk traditions, from Alpana motifs to Pattachitra and Gomira masks, reflecting a culture that has always treated sport as a matter of pride.
