Terms & Conditions

UCL is a cricket platform designed to provide players with an organised and competitive pathway from registration and trials through assessment, selection and participation in the League.

UCL may conduct player trials, performance assessments, fitness assessments, selection camps, practice sessions, player selection/auction processes, matches, promotional activities and other cricket-related activities as determined by UCL.

UCL may involve former Indian, international or other recognised cricketers, coaches, selectors, officials, trainers, experts and other professionals in the assessment, development, management or presentation of the League.

Association with any particular cricketer, coach, selector, official, broadcaster, sponsor, venue or other third party is subject to their availability and applicable commercial and contractual arrangements and shall not constitute a guarantee of selection or participation.

To register for UCL trials, a Player must satisfy the following minimum requirements:

1. The Player must be at least 18 years of age on the date of the applicable trial.
2. For the relevant UCL season, the applicable upper age limit shall be as announced by UCL. Unless otherwise expressly notified by UCL, the current eligibility range is 18 to 50 years.
3. The Player must provide valid and accurate identity and age-related documentation when requested by UCL.
4. The Player must be physically capable of participating in competitive cricket activities.
5. The Player must not be subject to any restriction, suspension, ban, court order or other legal restriction preventing participation in sporting activities.
6. The Player must comply with all eligibility requirements, sporting regulations and other conditions communicated by UCL.
7. UCL may prescribe additional eligibility conditions for particular stages of the League, including the Selection Camp, player auction, squad selection or matches.

UCL reserves the right to verify eligibility and documentation at any stage.

Providing false, incomplete, misleading, forged or materially inaccurate information may result in cancellation of registration, disqualification, removal from the selection process, forfeiture of applicable fees or benefits, and/or restriction from future UCL activities.

Players from all States and Union Territories of India may register for UCL trials, subject to the eligibility requirements and applicable laws and regulations.

Registration from a particular State, Union Territory, city or trial location does not create any right or entitlement to selection.

UCL may conduct trials at multiple locations across India and may add, remove, combine, postpone or change trial locations depending upon operational requirements.

At registration, the Player may be required to identify their primary playing category, which may include:

• Batsman
• Bowler
• Wicketkeeper
• All-rounder

UCL may assess the Player in one or more disciplines irrespective of the category selected during registration.

The category stated by the Player does not guarantee that the Player will be assessed, selected or ultimately utilised in that role.

UCL, its selectors, coaches or authorised officials may determine the role or category in which a Player is assessed or considered based on the Player's demonstrated abilities and the requirements of the League.

The applicable one-time registration fee for UCL trials shall be as displayed on the official UCL registration platform at the time of registration.

Unless otherwise notified by UCL:

• Batsman/Bowler: ₹1,999/- exclusive of applicable taxes, if any, as displayed at checkout.
• Wicketkeeper/All-rounder: applicable fee as displayed on the registration page.

The registration fee is payable once per Player for the applicable trial/selection cycle unless UCL expressly announces otherwise.

Only one trial registration per Player shall be permitted for the applicable UCL selection cycle unless UCL expressly permits otherwise.

A Player must not create multiple registrations using different names, mobile numbers, email addresses, identity documents, cities, playing categories or other information for the purpose of obtaining multiple trial opportunities.

Where duplicate or multiple registrations are identified, UCL may cancel or consolidate such registrations and may disqualify the Player from the selection process.

Any duplicate registration made contrary to these Terms shall not create an entitlement to a refund.

The Player represents and warrants that all information submitted to UCL is true, accurate, complete and current.

This includes, without limitation:

• Name and date of birth
• Age and contact details
• Address and identity documentation
• Playing category
• Cricketing history and playing experience
• Fitness information
• Photographs and videos
• Achievements and statistics
• Any other information requested by UCL

The Player must promptly notify UCL if any material information changes.

UCL may rely upon the information supplied by the Player unless and until it is reasonably determined to be inaccurate or false.

The UCL player journey may generally include:

The exact structure may vary for a particular season.

UCL intends to operate the selection process according to an announced timeline. The indicative UCL season structure may include:

• Trials: October–December
• Player Auction/Selection: January
• League: February

These dates are indicative and may be amended by UCL due to operational, venue, regulatory, broadcasting, weather, logistical, commercial or other circumstances.

The city or venue selected by a Player during registration shall be treated as a preference only unless expressly confirmed by UCL.

UCL may assign a Player to another trial venue where required because of capacity, scheduling, venue availability, operational requirements, geographical considerations, weather, safety, logistical requirements or any other reasonable operational consideration.

The final trial venue, reporting date, reporting time, batch, schedule and assessment instructions shall be communicated by UCL through its official communication channels.

Performance Assessment

This may include assessment of:

• Batting and bowling
• Wicketkeeping and fielding
• Game awareness and decision-making
• Technique and match temperament
• Athletic ability
• Execution under pressure
• Teamwork
• Overall cricketing performance

Fitness Assessment

Players may also undergo physical assessments including:

• Endurance
• Agility
• Speed
• Mobility
• Strength
• Reaction ability
• Cricket-specific fitness
• Other tests considered appropriate by UCL

The precise tests, benchmarks, formats and methodology may vary depending upon the Player category and stage of the selection process.

Selection may depend upon a combination of:

• Performance and fitness
• Technical ability
• Game awareness
• Fielding and match performance
• Consistency
• Positional requirements
• Squad composition
• Team requirements
• Available positions
• Selection Camp performance
• Player category
• Other factors forming part of the UCL selection framework

The final selection of Players shall be made through the selection mechanism prescribed by UCL for the relevant season.

Players shortlisted from trials may be invited to a further Selection Camp.

The Selection Camp may include:

• Fitness testing
• Endurance and agility assessments
• Skill assessments
• Real-match practice
• Match simulations
• Fielding assessments
• Tactical assessments
• Other cricket-related evaluations

Attendance at a Selection Camp does not guarantee selection into a final squad.

UCL may limit the number of Players progressing to subsequent stages based on the applicable selection framework.

UCL may use a points-based player auction or another player-selection/allocation mechanism for the relevant season.

Where an auction or allocation mechanism is used, Players may be assigned a category, base points, valuation or other applicable parameters in accordance with the rules announced for that season.

Team owners/franchise representatives or other authorised decision-makers may select Players in accordance with the applicable auction or allocation rules.

Participation in an auction or selection process does not independently guarantee a playing position in every match.

Final squad composition, playing XI, match participation and Player deployment shall remain subject to the applicable League rules and team requirements.

Where a Player is selected for a UCL season, any applicable player fee, remuneration, participation payment or other commercial consideration shall be governed by the separate player agreement or commercial terms issued by UCL.

The range is subject to the Player's selection, category, team allocation, applicable agreement and other terms.

Registration for trials does not create any entitlement to such payment.

The prize pool is subject to the official League structure, applicable rules and terms.

Any winning-team prize, runner-up prize, individual award or other prize shall be subject to the official UCL prize rules applicable to the relevant season.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a prize announcement does not constitute a guarantee that every Player will receive an individual monetary prize.

Any applicable taxation, statutory deduction or other legally required deduction may be made from prize payments.

UCL reserves the right to withhold, suspend or adjust prize payments where there is a legitimate dispute concerning eligibility, misconduct, match integrity, fraud, false information or violation of applicable UCL rules, subject to applicable law.

UCL intends to conduct matches at international-standard cricket stadiums and may broadcast or stream matches through television and/or OTT platforms.

However, venue, broadcaster, OTT platform, production arrangement, commentary language, match schedule and media distribution may be subject to commercial, technical, regulatory, venue and other circumstances.

Accordingly, registration or selection does not constitute a contractual guarantee of:

• A particular stadium
• A particular broadcaster or OTT platform
• Television appearance
• Individual media exposure
• A particular match
• A particular playing position
• Any specific promotional opportunity

By registering and/or participating, the Player confirms that they are physically capable of undertaking competitive cricket activities.

The Player must disclose any material injury, medical condition or physical limitation that may reasonably affect safe participation.

UCL may require a medical certificate, fitness certificate, medical examination or other health-related documentation before permitting participation in any stage.

UCL may refuse or restrict participation where it reasonably considers that participation may create a significant safety risk to the Player or others.

The Player acknowledges that cricket involves inherent risks, including muscle injuries, strains, sprains, fractures, impact injuries, head injuries, heat-related illness, dehydration, falls, collisions, injuries from cricket balls, bats or equipment, and other sports-related injuries.

Participation is voluntary and the Player assumes the inherent risks associated with competitive cricket, subject to applicable law.

Unless expressly communicated otherwise in writing, UCL does not represent or warrant that individual Players are covered by personal accident, medical, life or other insurance for participation in trials or League activities.

Players are responsible for arranging any personal insurance coverage they consider appropriate.

Where UCL provides event-specific insurance or accident coverage, the scope, exclusions, limits and terms of such insurance shall be governed by the relevant insurance policy.

UCL may require Players to produce original or verifiable copies of:

• Aadhaar or other government-issued identity document
• PAN or passport
• Age proof and address proof
• Photographs
• Medical/fitness certificates
• Cricketing records
• Other documents reasonably required for verification

UCL may use third-party verification services where reasonably necessary.

If a Player is found to have submitted forged, manipulated or materially misleading documentation, UCL may immediately terminate the Player's participation and take any other lawful action available to it.

A Player must not knowingly conceal material information concerning criminal convictions, pending criminal proceedings involving serious offences, sporting bans, match-fixing or corruption-related proceedings, disciplinary sanctions, fraud, violence, sexual misconduct, harassment or other conduct materially relevant to participation in a professional or publicly presented sporting competition.

UCL may conduct reasonable background or integrity checks, particularly for Players selected for the League.

Any action taken under this clause shall be subject to applicable law and the nature and seriousness of the relevant matter.

Players must not:

• Participate in match-fixing
• Manipulate any match, trial, session or performance
• Deliberately underperform or manipulate an assessment
• Exchange confidential sporting information for improper benefit
• Accept or offer bribes or inducements
• Engage in betting or gambling relating to UCL matches or events where prohibited by applicable law or UCL rules
• Disclose inside information for betting or improper purposes
• Approach or influence officials improperly
• Assist any person in attempting to manipulate a UCL event

Players must immediately report any suspicious approach, offer, request or conduct relating to match manipulation, betting or corruption to UCL through the designated reporting mechanism.

A violation may result in immediate suspension, disqualification, removal from the League, forfeiture of applicable benefits or prizes, and/or reporting to appropriate authorities.

UCL's selection process is intended to be based on the applicable assessment and selection framework.

No Player is entitled to selection through:

• Personal recommendation
• Political or financial influence
• Personal connections
• Celebrity association or social status
• Family relationship
• Pressure upon selectors or officials
• Any other improper influence

Players and their representatives must not attempt to improperly influence selectors, coaches, officials, team owners or UCL management.

Any person attempting to obtain selection through improper means may be removed from the selection process.

At the same time, UCL does not guarantee selection merely because a Player satisfies a stated minimum benchmark.

Players must maintain appropriate conduct at all UCL activities.

Players must not engage in:

• Physical violence, threats or intimidation

• Damage to property or disorderly conduct

• Cheating or falsification of information
• Match manipulation
• Deliberate damage to equipment
• Conduct likely to compromise the safety, integrity or reputation of UCL

UCL may suspend, remove or disqualify a Player for serious misconduct, subject to applicable law and the applicable disciplinary process.

UCL expects all Players, officials, coaches, staff, volunteers, team representatives and other participants to maintain a safe and respectful sporting environment.

Sexual harassment, inappropriate physical contact, intimidation, stalking, bullying, discrimination or harassment of any nature shall not be tolerated.

Complaints may be submitted through the designated UCL grievance or reporting mechanism.

Where legally applicable, UCL shall follow the requirements of applicable laws and regulations relating to prevention of sexual harassment and safeguarding.

Players must comply with the dress code and equipment requirements communicated by UCL.

UCL may require specific cricket clothing, footwear, helmets, protective equipment, identification materials and other safety equipment.

UCL may inspect equipment and prohibit equipment that is unsafe, damaged, non-compliant or unsuitable for the applicable activity.

Players remain responsible for their personal equipment.

Except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, UCL shall not be responsible for loss, theft or damage to personal belongings brought to a UCL venue.

UCL may restrict the use of mobile phones, cameras, recording devices or other electronic equipment during trials, Selection Camps, team activities, tactical meetings or other designated areas.

Players must not record, photograph, livestream or publish confidential UCL activities, selection discussions, assessment materials, tactical information or other restricted content without prior written permission.

Confidential information may include:

• Selection information
• Player valuations and auction strategy
• Team strategy and tactical information
• Unpublished schedules
• Commercial terms and sponsor information
• Broadcast information
• Proprietary documents and internal communications
• Other information expressly identified as confidential

A Player must not disclose confidential information except where required by law or authorised by UCL.

Refusal to execute a required NDA may make the Player ineligible for the relevant stage of participation.

By registering for or participating in UCL trials, Selection Camps, matches, practice sessions, interviews, ceremonies or other UCL activities, the Player acknowledges and agrees that UCL and its authorised partners may photograph, film, record and otherwise capture the Player's participation.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Player grants UCL and its authorised licensees, broadcasters, sponsors, partners and media distributors a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the Player's name, photograph, likeness, image, voice, biographical information, performance, interview, statements and recorded participation in connection with UCL's promotion, marketing, broadcasting, streaming, editorial, archival and commercial activities.

Such use may include television, OTT, digital platforms, websites, social media, print, advertising, promotional films, highlights, documentaries and other media formats.

The Player shall not be entitled to separate payment merely because their image or participation is included in UCL media or promotional material, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Nothing in this clause is intended to waive any right that cannot lawfully be waived.

Where a Player voluntarily provides photographs, videos, interviews, testimonials, biographical information or other material to UCL for League-related purposes, the Player confirms that:

1. They have the right to provide such material.
2. The material does not knowingly infringe third-party rights.
3. UCL may use the material for legitimate UCL-related purposes, subject to applicable law.

During UCL trials, matches, official functions, media activities and other designated League activities, Players must comply with UCL's sponsorship and branding requirements.

Players must not display, promote or endorse competing brands, unauthorised commercial messages or third-party promotional material in a manner that conflicts with UCL's official sponsorship arrangements.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, Players shall be responsible for their own:

UCL shall not be responsible for independent acts or omissions of third parties except to the extent required under applicable law.

All trademarks, logos, names, designs, graphics, videos, photographs, written content, website material, formats, systems and other intellectual property owned or licensed by UCL remain the property of UCL or the relevant rights holder.

No Player receives any ownership rights merely by registering or participating in UCL.

Players must not reproduce, commercially exploit, modify or use UCL intellectual property without prior written permission.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, UCL shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising from participation in UCL activities.

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit liability to the extent such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law, including liability arising from fraud, wilful misconduct or other non-excludable liability.

UCL shall not be responsible for loss or damage to personal property except to the extent liability is imposed by applicable law.

1. The Player's breach of these Terms.
2. Fraudulent or materially false information supplied by the Player.
3. The Player's unlawful conduct.
4. Infringement of a third party's rights by material supplied by the Player.

This clause shall not apply to the extent that the relevant loss was caused by UCL's own liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Players may raise genuine concerns or complaints through the official UCL grievance mechanism.

UCL shall designate appropriate contact details for grievances on the website.

The grievance mechanism is intended to provide a structured channel for resolving genuine participant concerns.

• SMS
• WhatsApp
• Telephone
• Website notifications

UCL may collect and process personal information necessary for registration, eligibility verification, payment processing, trial administration, player assessment, selection, communication, League management, safety, compliance, media and other legitimate UCL-related purposes.

Personal data shall be handled in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws and the UCL Privacy Policy.

The Player acknowledges that certain information may need to be shared with authorised service providers, venues, team representatives, officials, broadcasters, production partners or other authorised parties where reasonably necessary for the administration or operation of UCL.

Where consent is required under applicable law, UCL shall obtain consent in the manner prescribed by law.

By selecting the checkbox stating "I have read and agree to the UCL Terms & Conditions", completing registration and/or making payment, the Player confirms their electronic acceptance of these Terms.

Such electronic acceptance shall constitute the Player's acknowledgement of and agreement to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

UCL may update these Terms from time to time.

The latest version shall be published on the official UCL website.

Continued participation after an applicable update may constitute acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable by a competent authority, such provision shall be modified or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in effect.

Failure by UCL to immediately enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of UCL's right to enforce that provision subsequently.

Any waiver must be expressly communicated by an authorised representative of UCL.

These Terms, together with the UCL Privacy Policy, Trial SOP, Code of Conduct, applicable League rules, player agreement and any other document expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the applicable agreement between UCL and the Player concerning the relevant stage of participation.

Where there is a conflict between these Terms and a later specific written Player Agreement relating to the same subject matter, the later specific agreement shall prevail to the extent of the conflict.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India.

Subject to applicable law, disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts at Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
