Since there are an infinite number of colonies/hallis/layouts there has been a huge demand from different associations to have their teams in BPL. However, to make it look like its bigger cousins, this league is going to have 8 teams only. Based on various factors like popular demand, bribe and traffic, the league has been short listed with the following 8 teams:
1. KORMANAGALA SHOPPERS - owned by shop-o-holics .
2. WHITEFIELD ITs- owned by cab drivers
3. BASVANAGUDI OLDIES - owned by PPF1
4. BELLANDUR LAKERS - owned by the ones who are encroaching the lake
5. BOMMANAHALLI BOMBS - owned by owners of firecracker companies from HOSUR
6. ISRO LAYOUT SCIENTISTS - owned by ex-members of ICC2
7. RAJAJINAGAR STONERS - owned by members of KRV
8. BTM JAMMERS - owned by wonderful citizens who are stuck in the BTM traffic jam
BPL will be the title sponsor for this league. So league will be called "BPL BPL" .
The Unique features of “BPL BPL” are as follows:
• Shared playground - a minimum of four matches will be held at a time.
• Stationary wickets- Trees/ electric poles will be used as wickets at one end.(stones at the other).
• No changeover - there will be no changeover after every over
• Bouncy balls - cricket will be played with Wilson ball/tennis ball
• Live auction - Players are auctioned in the playground before a match
• Hard outfield - we will ensure there is no grass anywhere in the ground.
• Joker - a designated player can play for both the teams(in case there are odd number of players).
• Current - the bowler only needs to have contact with the wicket on his side(stone) to effect a run and does not have to remove the bails (as there are none in the first place!)
• Live rules - rules can be modified according to the situation and only mutual agreement between the teams in necessary
• Varied Clothing - believing in diversity every team member can wear clothes of his choice.
Also, due to the overwhelming response received from sponsors following awards are to be given:
• Best fielder - decided by the dirtiest clothes sponsored by Manjunath laundry.
• Super sixer - decided by the broken window glass - sponsored by pakkada mane aunty.
•BPL man of the match - to be given to the person watching the match.
Additionally, Water is supplied by borewell, beverages by ‘kakan anagadi’.
Meanwhile, it is also heard that school children are planning to hold a massive rally to protest the incursion of ‘corporates’ into their game. They were heard saying that this would destroy the very fabric of street cricket. The CEO of BPL BPL was, however, unavailable for comment.
