Tamil Nadu Premier League 2017 Schedule, Teams, Squad & Players List

The 2nd edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) is all set to kickstart on July 22nd. The Indian T20 cricket premier league which is along the lines of the IPL is a domestic competition organized by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) to promote domestic talents in the state of Tamil Nadu.

Only cricketers registered in Tamil Nadu are eligible for the tournament. The 2017 edition of TNPL is scheduled to take place from July 22nd to August 20th, 2017.

32 matches will be played at three different venues, with the final to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. However, unlike last year, there is a slight change in the format as TNPL goes the IPL way in the playoffs. Unlike last year, that witnessed the semi-finals and finals, this time around the 2nd edition will witness two qualifiers and an eliminator deciding which side will play each other in the final.

The MA Chidambaram Stadium will host only 8 matches while the NPR College Ground in Dindigul will play host to 11 matches. The India Cements Company Ground in Tirunelveli will host 13 matches.
