Mumbai Marines
Champions return with a point to prove. Led by the ever-charismatic Irfan Pathan, the Mumbai Marines arrive as the defending champions of BCL Season 1.
With match-winners like Jesal Karia and Malinda Pushpakumara, two of the standout performers from the inaugural edition, in their ranks, this side will be the team every other franchise targets in 2026.
Northern Challengers
Dhawan leads a side hungry for the title. Captained by the ever-popular Shikhar Dhawan, the Northern Challengers are one of the most anticipated sides of Season 2.
After reaching the semi-finals in 2024, they carry genuine title ambitions. With experienced names like Upul Tharanga and Samiullah Shinwari supporting Dhawan at the top, expect this team to be a strong contender throughout.
Southern Spartans
Raina’s magic returns to light up the league. Under the captaincy of cricketing legend Suresh Raina, the Southern Spartans bring colour, experience, and plenty of firepower.
The Spartans finished as finalists in Season 1, going down narrowly to Mumbai Marines. With Herschelle Gibbs, Phil Mustard, and a talented supporting cast, they’ll be eager to go one step further in 2026.
MP Tigers
The most explosive batting lineup in the competition. MP Tigers enter Season 2 with a squad that oozes power and experience.
Helmed by Yusuf Pathan, one of T20 cricket’s most destructive hitters, and backed by the likes of Stuart Binny, Pawan Negi, and Amit Mishra, this team finished third in Season 1 and will be looking to make a serious push for the title this time around.
UP Brij Stars
Crafty spin, big ambitions, and a squad full of surprises. The UP Brij Stars bring one of cricket’s most celebrated spin bowlers, Imran Tahir, to lead the charge.
Alongside the aggressive Asghar Afghan and the explosive Hamilton Masakadza, this team brings international depth that cannot be underestimated. Having exited at the league stage in 2024, they come into Season 2 with much to prove.
Gujarat Diamonds
The new challengers are ready to make their mark. The Gujarat Diamonds are set to shine on home soil, with all matches taking place in Surat.
Led by Sri Lankan legend Tillakaratne Dilshan, and bolstered by Asela Gunaratne and Shahbaz Nadeem, this squad is a fascinating mix of international class and local talent, and they’ll have the crowd firmly behind them every step of the way.
