Ahmedabad, May 28: The much-anticipated second edition of the Chiripal Cricket Premier League (CPL) is set to light up the SGVP Grounds, opposite Nirma University, from May 31 to June 14, 2025. Organised by the Chiripal Group, this flagship cricket tournament returns with an expanded vision — to serve as a premier platform for Gujarat’s Ranji Trophy players and budding local talent.
The grand opening ceremony will be attended by dignitaries including Balkrishnadasji Swamiji, Vice President of SGVP; Vikas Sahay (IPS), Director General of Police, Gujarat; and Ajay Patel, Vice President of the Indian Olympic Association and Chairman of Gujarat State Co-operative Bank and ADB Bank.
With support from the Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA), the tournament has gained momentum as a top-tier domestic league in the state. This season will feature six power-packed teams:
- Sabarmati Strikers
- Ahmedabad Arrows
- Karnavati Kings
- Heritage City Titans
- Narmada Navigators
- Gandhinagar Lions
The opening clash between Heritage City Titans and Ahmedabad Arrows will take place on May 31 at 7:30 PM. The opening weekend will also see exciting matches between Gandhinagar Lions vs Sabarmati Strikers and Karnavati Kings vs Narmada Navigators.
CPL Match Referee Rajit Divetia will oversee the tournament, which promises a high-octane fortnight of cricketing excellence.
Former GCA President and Rajya Sabha MP Narhari Amin extended his wholehearted support, saying, “It’s heartening to see passionate entrepreneurs like Ronak, Vansh, and Gorav creating opportunities for young cricketers. Just like IPL, I envision CPL growing into one of India’s finest leagues. I also urge future editions to include U-14 and U-16 categories to shape the next generation of cricketing talent.”
Ronak Chiripal, Promoter of Chiripal Group and Co-founder of CPL, remarked, “CPL 2025 is a continuation of a dream—to offer a dedicated platform for Gujarat’s cricketing spirit. The success of the inaugural season proved that the talent is here. With CPL 2.0, we’re back, bigger and bolder, to push local stars towards national prominence.”
Adding to the professional atmosphere, Impact Player rules will be implemented, with match officiating, scoring, and video analysis coordinated by GCA. Younger players may be inducted based on performance needs. Outstation players and coaches will be hosted in luxury, courtesy of the Chiripal Group.
