The third season of the Saurashtra Premier League (SPL) is commencing on the 23rd of August. The previous two seasons brought us some swashbuckling action to cheer upon. The league is getting bigger and better with every passing year, and we expect more of the same in the upcoming season.
SPL is a five-franchise league played in a Round-Robin format. All the matches are played at the Kandheri Stadium in Rajkot. The franchises - Halar Heroes, Zalawad Royals, Gohilwad Gladiators, Kutch Warriors, and Sorath Lions - face each other once in a ten-match league. The top two teams at the end of the league stage fight for the trophy in the final.
In this article, we bring the squad list of franchises participating in the Saurashtra Premier League 2023.
