Buddy teams
Buddy teams
What is new in this upcoming T25 ?
We have relaxed some rules in this T25 where some teams faced shortage of players . There is no fun searching for players a day before the game or end up with 8-9 players in the squad playing a game. Every team must have 18 registered players and non registered players will not be allowed to play for any team pending decision of the management. The player rooster will not be extended to more than 25 players which inclues 18 registered players and rest from Buddy or total 25 players which is maximum to make it easy to understand.
Buddy teams- Buddy team process experiement was basically designed to help clubs having  teams in both divisions with some limitations.
 Teams participating in both divisions can move players up and down to make good squads and feel no shortages of plavers. If clubs have a single team in Premier   division  then they can find a buddy team in Challengers division if required .Similarly a team from Challengers division can find a buddy team in Premier division.
A ratio of 60:40 would work very smoothly.This does not mean that a team takes advantage of this relaxed rules to take strong players to win games and make their own players sit in the dug out.  If teams have full squads then they should not look for Buddy teams. League management can easily know the situation. We want more and more cricketers to participate in the leagues and play more cricket.


Simple to Understand this formula.
1) Players  from Premier division can play in Challengers cup Division  and vice versa which means players from Challengers can play in Premiers with limitation or restrictions only from a Buddy team or teams with same name.
a) Premier division has to register their 5 top players who can play maximum 2 games and regular players can play 3 games in Challengers division in case their buddy team in Challengers division is short of players  and not otherwise.Bca has records of all top players in all teams and will approve them to avoid disadvantage to lower division.These top players must play minmimum 5 games in their own division to avoid fines.Challengers division players cannot play more than  3 games in upper division.This will help in player rotation and all others to enjoy cricket.For example
Bkk Stars in Premiers  has a buddy team Bca XI - A Player can play up and down only if any of the teams is short of plyers.
Seaking cc in Premiers has a buddy team in  Challengers as Asia United cc.
Teams should not misuse this provision by dropping their players and look for match winners.
2) No player can play in more than One team in each division.And once played in a team cannnot change teams.
3) Match dates will not move as all teams will have enough players

4) Schedules are posted on website .Final round is based on IPL style . Elimination Final ,Qualification Final and grand Final.
