LEGEN-Z T10 League completes trials in Noida and Pune, shortlisting 81 players for auction as street cricketers aim for national stardom.

"The talent we’ve seen in Noida and Pune has been very good. These players are raw, passionate, and hungry—exactly what we envisioned. – Chiranjeev Dubey"

Noida, June 16

The LEGEN-Z T10 League, India's biggest tennis ball cricket League, has completed its physical trials in Noida and Pune. These trials marked a major step forward in the league's mission to transform street cricketers into national stars.

The trials witnessed an overwhelming response from aspiring cricketers. The trials in Noida and Pune proved to be highly competitive, with 45 players selected from Noida and 36 from Pune to advance to the next round, a release said.

These selected players are now one step closer to earning their place in the televised league through the upcoming player auction. The final leg of physical trials will be held in Hyderabad on June 16.

Across all cities, a total of 120 to 150 standout players will be shortlisted for the auction round, where 72 will receive the Diamond Tickets and a place in the inaugural season of The LEGEN-Z T10 League.

Commenting on the successful trials, Chiranjeev Dubey, Founder and CEO of The LEGEN-Z T10 League, said, "The talent we've seen in Noida and Pune has been very good. These players are raw, passionate, and hungry--exactly what we envisioned when we started this league. The LEGEN-Z T10 wants to create opportunities at the grassroots level."

The league's vision is simple yet powerful: to bring the country's street cricketers into the limelight. Built on the slogan 'Gali Se TV Tak,' The Legenz T10 offers a direct path from raw passion to real recognition.

Former Indian pacer and chairman of the LEGEN-Z T10 League, Venkatesh Prasad said, "The response we've received from young cricketers across the country has been overwhelming. It's heartening to see the kind of raw talent that exists at the grassroots level. The players underwent rigorous evaluations based on bowling, batting and fielding agility."

Former South Africa batter Herschelle Gibbs' son has also registered for The LEGEN-Z T10. Gibbs during the launch of the league had said, "Playing tennis ball cricket at a young age teaches adaptability and sharpens reflexes. This is an exciting concept, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it grows."

The LEGEN-Z T10 aims to transform local cricketing talent into national stars, giving players from every street, gully, and town the chance to perform under stadium lights, in front of roaring crowds, and on national television, the release said.

What a fantastic initiative! Tennis ball cricket is the heartbeat of India's streets. Finally, our local heroes will get the recognition they deserve. 'Gali Se TV Tak' is such a powerful slogan. Can't wait to watch the matches! 🇮🇳🏏

Great concept but I hope they maintain transparency in player selection. We've seen many such leagues where only connected players get selected. The presence of Venkatesh Prasad gives me confidence though.

Tennis ball cricket is where most of us learned the game! This league will be more relatable than IPL for common people. Just one suggestion - please include more cities in next season. Small towns have incredible talent too!

Interesting to see Herschelle Gibbs' son participating. Shows international interest in our street cricket culture! Hope this league gets proper TV coverage and doesn't end up being just another YouTube tournament.

The selection ratio seems very tough - 45 from Noida out of how many participants? Would be good if they share more stats. But overall, kudos for creating this platform. Maybe next time they can include women's trials too?

As someone from Pune, I'm so proud our city is part of this! The tennis ball cricket scene here is massive. Hope some of our local players make it big through this league. When will the matches be telecast? Any updates on that?
