BCPL to create New Pathways for Corporate Cricketing Talent: Sourav Ganguly

New Delhi, Feb 08(UNI) Former India cricket captain Saurav Ganguly and world cup winning fast bowler Zaheer Khan, energized the world’s biggest corporate cricket league, the Bhartiya Corporate Premiere League (BCPL) Season 4, with their electrifying presence as Brand Ambassadors at the trophy and jerseys unveiling ceremony, which took place at a city convention centre here in the national capital on Sunday (Feb 08, 2026). The league, for the first time in its brief history, will go international with ten teams vying for the top honors.

Addressing the audience on the occasion Sourav Ganguly said, “When I met Saurabh Jha, I told him that all of us started our journey in a similar way. In our early days, there was no IPL. I worked with Tata Steel and played a lot of corporate cricket, which gave me valuable exposure and helped me get noticed. BCPL is an excellent platform because cricket is consumed passionately across the country and countless people dream of playing the game at a competitive level. The Bhartiya Cricket Premier League will open doors and create pathways for talented corporate professionals to pursue their dreams and build a career in cricket.”
