Franchise cricket runs almost all year now, and this section brings the major T20 leagues together in one place. Every league post on CRIC INFO 365 is filed here, from opening night previews to the final.
For each match we publish a preview with the probable playing 11, the pitch report, recent form, head to head records and a Dream11 team. For the bigger leagues we go further, with full squad guides, schedule pages, player profiles with career stats and ground guides that explain how each venue plays.
The Caribbean Premier League 2026 and the Big Bash League 2026-27 are the two leagues we cover in the most depth. Our BBL section includes detailed player biographies covering height, debut, teams played for and season by season numbers, written from real reporting rather than stat boxes alone.
