Pondicherry T20 Tournament 2025: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details

The Cricket Association of Pondicherry is poised to host the highly anticipated Pondicherry T20 Tournament, set to commence on February 24 and conclude on March 6. A total of 19 matches are to be played at the Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground in Puducherry.

Six teams will compete in this exciting edition: Panthers XI, Sharks XI, Bulls XI, Lions XI, Tigers XI, and Tuskers XI. As the tournament enters its fifth edition, the defending champions, Tigers XI, will aim to retain their title.

Last year, Harsh Vaishnav was named the Player of the Match (POTM) for his exceptional performance in the final, claiming three pivotal wickets to guide his team to victory.

Panthers XI, a dominant force in recent years, clinched the title three years in a row (2021, 2022, and 2023), showcasing their consistency and prowess.

This domestic T20 league provides a crucial platform for emerging cricketers to showcase their skills and make a name for themselves. It serves as an important stepping stone for players looking to advance their careers, with the opportunity to progress to higher domestic competitions such as the prestigious Ranji Trophy, and potentially earn a place in the national side.

As a developmental league, the Pondicherry T20 Tournament continues to play a significant role in nurturing the next generation of cricket talent, contributing to the growth and future success of the sport in India.

On that note, let's look at the tournament’s schedule, squads, and match timings:
