Message from Board Of Directors*, KXIP

We are happy to be able to bring Kings Cup to all the cricket lovers in region. It will not only provide a suitable platform to budding cricketers but also help identify suitable talent for the Kings XI Punjab team.

The Franchise has decided to levy no Gate money for the 2009 inaugural cup and also incentize the players by having them meet Kings XI Punjab team players. We believe that Kings Cup will be a suitable platform for young cricketers to display their prowess under match conditions and provide Kings XI Punjab the opportunity to identify players for its team and suitable recruits for our Cricket Academy.
