Yograj Singh while highlighting the significance of PSPL, said, 'Tennis ball cricket is the heartbeat of Indian streets. It teaches reflexes, resilience, and raw instinct — qualities even international players admire, and I'm sure the youth of Punjab will love to play this format.' He said that the league will be played in a T-10 format.
It will feature 8 teams, each comprising 20 players — 14 from Punjab and 6 from other Indian states. Trials will be conducted across every district of Punjab and key cities in India, ensuring wide participation.
