About Us
Big Cricket League is a world where cricketing dreams become reality, a journey that brings together the common man and cricketing demi-gods and a cricket tournament unlike any other in the world at the moment. A T20 tournament that turns a doctor, engineer or a simple shopkeeper into a cricketer, giving him a chance to rub shoulders with former international players, icons and legends.
In the world of Big Cricket League, you will see a common software engineer bowl to Shikhar Dhawan & a 45-year-old shopkeeper batting against Imran Tahir, on the biggest stage. BCL is more than a regular cricket league – it is a real-life journey that covers the nooks & corners of India to find hidden gems & put them right alongside the shining diamonds of world cricket.
