What is CPCLT20 ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP?
The CPCLT20 Elite Championship is a highly competitive Hard Tennis Ball Cricket Tournament organized by the Chicago Premier Cricket League.
This is a tournament that aims to bring together the top tennis ball cricket talent in Chicagoland. While the Season 1 and 2, the team selection was draft based, in 2025 (Season 3), we are moving to an auction based player selection process. This auction process will be as transparent and fair as the erstwhile player draft process, allowing team owners to create competitive combinations of players. Season 3 will have 7 teams and the matches will start in June 2024. Don't miss the drama of bringing together the best 7 combinations from now till June !!
