Local boy Saurabh Tiwary has been made the brand ambassador of the Jharkhand Premier League (JPL), an 8-day tournament beginning March 12.
Jharkhand thus becomes the second state after Karnataka to host a state T20 league.
"The JPL will be organised jointly by Jharkhand State Cricket Association and Elite Sports Management (ESM). The BCCI has permitted for the franchise bidding and taking 100 players as marque," ESM director, Nishant Dayal, told reporters here.
The auction will be held on February 6 for five teams -- Ranchi Rangers, Bokaro Bulls, Singhbhum Shers, Dhanbad Diamond and Jamshedpur Jaanbaaz, he said.
Any corporate entity in the country can bid for a minimum of Rs 15 lakh a team during the players auction on February 13.
The hundred players, to be put on marque by the organisers, would be from teams like India A, India under-19 and India Seniors (Group A), Ranji Trophy (Group B), under-19 under-22 (Group C) and district represented players (Group D).
While the minimum auction money for players in Group A would be Rs two lakh, the amounts for groups B, C and D would be Rs 50,000, Rs 35,000 and Rs 15,000 respectively, he added.
"Tiwary will also be available for auctioneering," Dayal said.
