About Jamia Premier League (JPL): Staff Cricket Championship
The Jamia Premier League is not just a casual knockout; it is a full-scale T-20 tournament played on our floodlit cricket ground. We host teams from across university faculties, bringing together teaching and non-teaching staff for a month of intense competition that shows exactly how serious we take our cricket.
Over the last decade, we have transformed the JPL from an internal hobby into a competitive tournament that rivals local leagues. Every year, departments form their own teams—from the Faculty of Architecture’s 'Archi Yoddhas' to administrative office XIs—battling it out for the trophy under floodlights.
Our Venue and Facilities
The tournament is played at the Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi Sports Complex, the heart of Jamia's campus. Our cricket ground features an international-standard turf wicket, a lush green outfield, and high-quality floodlight systems that allow for evening matches.
More Than Just Internal Sports
While the JPL is our annual staff celebration, the facility is a hub for professional cricket throughout the year. We regularly host BCCI domestic matches, including the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and provide practice sessions for IPL teams. We apply the same meticulous maintenance and pitch preparation for every booking—whether it is a departmental staff match or a corporate T-20 tournament.
Booking Information
Our ground is available for full-day rentals, typically from 9 AM to 5 PM, which covers 8 hours of exclusive access to the main cricket ground, pavilion, and changing rooms. Whether you need a space for a 40-over match or a high-stakes T-20, our ground staff manages pitch maintenance throughout the day to ensure professional playing conditions.
