Big Cricket League Season 2 In Greater Noida Sees Star Lineup And Free Entry For Fans

Professional T20 cricket returns to Greater Noida in June 2026. The Big Cricket League will stage Season 2 from June 3 to June 13. All matches take place at Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex. EaseMyTrip returns as title sponsor. Stadium entry will be free.

The league keeps its six-franchise format with 18 matches. Defending champions Mumbai Marines headline the field again. Organisers describe a stronger format, mixing elite foreign names and Indian domestic players. The event targets both stadium fans and global broadcast viewers this year.

The Pro-Am structure remains central to the project. Sixty amateur cricketers from across India will compete. They play alongside 18 former First-Class and IPL professionals. Thirty six global icons are also listed, including Shikhar Dhawan and Harbhajan Singh.

Other confirmed stars include Chris Gayle, Ross Taylor, Thisara Perera and Tillakaratne Dilshan. Organisers say the format offers rare access for club players. Amateurs share dressing rooms and pressure situations with experienced names. This mix aims to showcase grassroots skill under professional conditions.

Mr. Nishant Pitti, Founder & Chairman, EaseMyTrip, said: "Our journey with the Big Cricket League in Season 1 was both exciting and deeply rewarding. BCL has introduced a refreshing format that blends legendary cricketing names with inspiring grassroots talent, creating stories that truly resonate with fans across the country."

Mr. Vengsarkar added: "At BCL, we are committed to creating a world-class cricketing platform that not only delivers high-quality entertainment but also gives aspiring cricketers to not only showcase their talent but a rare opportunity to share the field with some of the biggest icons of the game."
