Composition of the Teams
What’s admirable about the entire endeavor is the promotion of real-life deserving cricket zealots. Through the composition criteria for teams, people with talent are picked up, brought forward and given a chance to achieve their dreams.
Each franchise is required to pick people from six categories, namely; Platinum (Salary range: $140,000 to $230,000), Diamond (Salary range: $75,000 to $80,000), Gold (Salary range: $50,000 to $60,000), Emerging (Salary range: $10,000 to $12,000) and Supplementary.
