UPT20 2023 Players Draft
Ahead of the start of the inaugural season, the UPCA held a Players Draft in Lucknow on Sunday (August 20). The event started off with a grand ceremony at The Grand Taj Mahal Hotel in Lucknow. The UPT20 2023 Players Draft auction consisted of rival franchises selecting players from four distinct categories: Marquee, Grade A, Grade B, and Grade C.
Draft format
Every franchise got to pick a total of 20 players during the UPT20 2023 Players Draft. The organizers determined this picking order through a lucky draw preceding each category. Moreover, teams only had a tight 1-minute window for each selection.
The players were divided into four different categories starting with the Marquee players featuring former stars. The next category – Grade A, consisted of players who previously featured in any BCCI senior domestic cricket tournament. Meanwhile, Grade B consisted of players who featured in the remaining BCCI’s domestic cricket tournament. Finally, the Grade C category included players who had previously registered for the UPT20 Players Draft themselves.
Players Draft valuations
The UPT20 2023 players draft featured the following player valuations:
