The Maharashtra Premier League 2023 will start on Thursday, June 15 in Pune, Maharashtra.
Organised by the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA), the MPL 2023 will see six franchise-based teams participating in the T20 tournament.
Puneri Bappa, Kolhapur Tuskers, Eagle Nashik Titans, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Kings, Ratnagiri Jets and Solapur Royals are the six franchises that will take part in the upcoming competition. The six franchises represent Pune, Kolhapur, Nashik, Sambhaji, Ratnagiri and Solapur.
As per the schedule, each team will play the other side in a round-robin format. The top four teams will qualify for the MPL 2023 playoffs.
The playoffs will consist of Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier and the Final. The MPL 2023 final will be held on Thursday, June 29.
All matches of MPL 2023 will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rahul Tripathi, Kedar Jadhav and Rajvardhan Hangargekar are some of the leading Maharashtra cricketers to feature in the T20 tournament.
Adopting the successful model of the Indian T20 League, a total of 285 players signed up for the MPL 2023 auction.
The players were divided under three categories - with base prices of INR 60,000, INR 40,000 and INR 30,000.
Each of the six teams were also allowed to rope in an icon player before the auction.
Interestingly, the first edition of MPL was organised in 2009 by the state board, but it stalled after the first three editions. The franchise-based T20 tournament has been revived after a long interval.
