Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 28 : The Technopark Premier League (TPL), the country’s largest IT-sector cricket tournament, and the Technopark Women’s Cricket League (TWCL) will begin at Technopark here on Wednesday.

A total of 174 teams are participating in the men’s category (TPL) while 24 teams will compete in the women’s category (TWCL) of the four-month-long 8-over-a-side tennis ball cricket tournament.  

Prathidhwani is organising TPL 2026 in association with Favourite Homes.
