Chertsey Premier League

Possibly the most famous CPL since that other one in the Caribbean, Chertsey's version of the Indian Premier League, now in its 5th season, the Chertsey Premier League (see what we did there).

Expect capers, loud kit, loud music, and excellent cricket, showcasing the creme de la creme of Chertsey CC.

So, what’s it all about? Well, here’s everything you need to know:

• The CPL is made up of four franchises, in no particular order Bourne Stars, Grove Armada, Meads Enforcers, and Gogmore Knights. Teams play double-header matches one Sunday a month.
• It's a round-robin format, with two matches each Matchday, with a finals day held in August.
• An auction night is held at the beginning of each season to officially fill the roster of each team.
• Franchises can approach sponsors to help fund playing shirts and kit.

CPL2021 Rules

From CPL2021 the tournament will be adopting the Power Surge from Big Bash franchise league. This means a 4 over mandatory power play at the start of the innings with 2 players outside the circle. A further 2 over power play can be taken from the 10^th over, with two fielders outside the circle, the batting side decide on when to take this or if they forget they will need to use it in the 19th & 20th overs - use it or lose it Captains!

During fielding restrictions 4 players can be outside the circle.

All no balls will result in free hits.

4 points for a win.

Bonus points to the loser for taking 6 wickets or scoring 120 runs. 1 point for each and possible to get max. 2 points.

Each team can have a Luxury player - 3 maximum though – 2 players are allowed from outside CCC and with 1 bona- fide Chertsey Legend on top of this.
