UPT20 League Chairman Dr Sanjay: UPT20 League Chairman Dr Sanjay Kapoor has said the tournament could be hosted in Varanasi, Gorakhpur and other cities of Uttar Pradesh in the future, as the league looks to expand its reach and provide a bigger platform to emerging talent across the state. Speaking at the grand opening ceremony of the fourth season of the UPT20 League at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Kapoor highlighted Uttar Pradesh's vast cricketing potential and the success of the league's grassroots 'Speed Hunt' initiative.

It is not just a cricket tournament or league; it is a festival for the entire UP. Together, we will celebrate it and take the state's cricket and its talent to new heights in the coming times, Kapoor said. He also expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Rajeev Shukla for their support in helping the league grow. Kapoor placed particular emphasis on the 'Speed Hunt' campaign, a grassroots scouting programme aimed at identifying young cricketing talent from rural areas. This time, through the 'Speed Hunt' initiative, many talented children from rural areas who had limited resources got the opportunity to step forward. We conducted direct selections through this initiative with complete transparency and without charging a single rupee as a fee, he said. Kapoor revealed that players identified through the initiative are now part of all six teams competing in the fourth edition of the UPT20 League. He added that several of them attracted bids worth lakhs during the auction. Today, I am proud to share that players discovered through the Speed Hunt are part of all six teams in the fourth edition of the UPT20 League. These players attracted bids in lakhs during the auction, which proves that there is no shortage of talent in Uttar Pradesh. Providing the right platform to that talent is the biggest testament to our vision, he said.

Madhav Kaushik Appointed Captain Of Noida Kings For UP T20 League 2026

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Noida Kings have appointed experienced Uttar Pradesh batter Madhav Kaushik as their captain for the fourth edition of the UP T20 League, as the franchise looks to mount a strong challenge for the title in the upcoming season. Madhav, who joined Noida Kings from the 2024 Meerut Mavericks, brings with him considerable experience in the UP T20 League as well as Uttar Pradeshs domestic cricket structure. His appointment also gives the Kings a leader who has already handled captaincy responsibilities in the competition, having led Meerut Mavericks to the title in 2024 and also to the finals in the 2025 edition. Madhav has been one of the consistent performers since the UP T20 League's inaugural season in 2023. In the first two editions, he accumulated 716 runs, scoring 350 runs in 2023 and improving that tally to 366 runs in 2024. His 2024 campaign saw him finish among the leading run-scorers in the tournament, with 366 runs in 12 matches at an average of 61 and a strike rate of 146.99, including three half-centuries. In the 2025 season, Madhav scored 286 runs in 13 matches at an average of 31.78 and a strike rate of 139.51, with one half-century. His highest score was an explosive 95 off just 31 balls, an innings that included 10 fours and seven sixes and came at a strike rate of 306.45. Across the first three editions of the competition, Kaushik has therefore amassed 1,002 runs, making him one of the league's most experienced and productive batters. Beyond the T20 format, Madhav has established himself as a dependable top-order batter for Uttar Pradesh in first-class cricket. He has played 28 first-class matches, scoring 1,441 runs in 41 innings at an average of 37.92, with four centuries and five fifties. His highest first-class score is 185 not out against Nagaland in the 2025-26 season. In the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season, he scored 351 runs in eight innings at an average of 50.14, including his career-best 185, ending the season as the top run-getter for Uttar Pradesh.
