  5. Players under 18 must bring written consent from a parent or guardian.

  2. The tournament has 120 players in total, which is a squad of 10 for each team.
  3. Two icon players are named: one All Kerala Icon and one Kannur District Icon. The committee decides how icons join franchises and announces it before team selection.

  5. Each franchise submits its final squad list before its first match. No changes are allowed after that.
  6. The 12 teams are placed into two pools by draw.

Match rules

  1. Every match is 6 overs a side.
  2. A team may use up to 5 bowlers. No bowler bowls more than 2 overs.
  3. A toss is held before every match. The winning captain chooses to bat or bowl.
  4. A wide ball or no-ball adds 1 run and is bowled again. A no-ball is followed by a free hit.
  5. The first 2 overs are the powerplay. At most two fielders may stand outside the inner circle as marked on the ground.
  6. A tied match is decided by a one-over eliminator, repeated until there is a result.
  7. In pool matches a win earns 2 points, a tie or no result earns 1 point and a loss earns 0. Teams level on points are ranked by net run rate.
  8. The committee announces the fixtures and the knockout stages after the draw.
  9. If rain or bad light stops play, overs may be reduced. If no result is possible, the committee decides by eliminator or toss.
  10. A substitute fielder is allowed only for injury or illness. A substitute cannot bat or bowl.
