Delhi Premier League: The Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) president Rohan Jaitley said that the upcoming Delhi Premier League (DPL) will serve as a platform for youngsters to showcase their talent and excel in the sport. Jaitley on Friday announced that the inaugural edition of the league will commence in the second half of August at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The league will feature both men's and women's teams.

The franchise auction for the league was held last Sunday and resulted in the sale of six men's teams for a total amount of Rs 49.65 crore.

"We believe Delhi has an immense talent pool who sometimes get an opportunity and sometimes don't to play for the state. The goal behind starting the Delhi Premier League is to give players a platform to showcase their talent," Jaitley told IANS.
