Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium: The Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) is set to return for its latest season, commencing June 12 with matches being held in Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium here in Shankarpur. The League has been relocated from Indore to Gwalior in view of the advancing monsoon in Indore and delay in the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Interestingly, Gwalior also hosted the inaugural edition of MPL last year, making it a familiar venue for players and organisers alike. Originally, the league was set to commence on May 27 in Indore, aligning with the IPL’s earlier scheduled conclusion on May 25.

Organised by Gwalior Division Cricket Association (GDCA) under the aegis of MP Cricket Association, the men’s competition, which featured five teams last season, has been expanded to seven, with the inclusion of teams from the Bundelkhand and Chambal regions.
