The promise for the milestone 10th edition of the Celebrity Cricket League was that it would be bigger and better and this time, it kickstarted with an action-packed weekend in Sharjah, between February 23 and 25. All 8 participating teams were in the UAE for the inaugural weekend, during which 10 scintillating matches were held.
Unlike earlier editions, when matches were restricted to weekends only, this time around, the organizers are doing extended weekends from Friday to Sunday. On March 1, the action shifts to Hyderabad, and over three days and 6 matches, at least four sides will play 2 matches each, so, by the end of week 2, but for the Bengal Tigers and Punjab De Sher, every other team would have played 3 matches each, providing a more definitive picture about who will proceed to the qualifiers and who won’t.
Here’s the Hyderabad schedule of CCL 2024

The Celebrity Cricket League matches are being live streamed on JioCinema with Hindi commentary. Sony Ten 5 and Doordarshan are also on board as broadcast partner with the latter’s DD Bharathi streaming the matches on its YouTube channel as well. Given that the Chennai Rhinos, Telugu Warrior and Karnataka Bulldozers have 2 matches each, you could catch their action with commentary in the language of your choice on Star Vijay Super (Tamil), Maa Movies (Telugu) and Star Suvarna (Telugu).
The weekend of March 8-10 is then being split between Chandigarh and Thiruvananthapuram, after which, the qualifiers and finale will be held in Vizag between March 15 and March 17. There are no matches in Bengaluru this time because of the Women’s Premier League schedule.
