Kolkata, Sep 8: The second edition of the Bengal T20 Challenge is being organised by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). Season two of the local T20 league witnessed 120 players from different age groups being picked in the players' draft.

The tournament will see six teams participating amongst each other for the coveted trophy. The teams are named after six iconic cities/towns of Bengal as players from senior Bengal, U25 and U19 probables will display their cricketing skills. Players from other states will not be participating in the event.

"We have selected local players because we want players from the state to come up and showcase their talents. We also have the top-performing players in the second division tournament district tournament. Of course, we'll be having a separate tournament for the districts, a new tournament which will also be broadcasted," said CAB president Avishek Dalmiya.

"This time we have talented players from various age groups. It's a great opportunity for the youngsters to showcase their talents. We have Bengal legends guiding the players as coaches and mentors. The basic concept is to bring the young cricketers in limelight. I am very hopeful that it will be a successful tournament," added CAB secretary Snehasish Ganguly.
