Competitions

What we run

Each age group is a little longer and a little harder than the one below, so nobody arrives at the next level unprepared. Boys climb five rungs, girls three, and both end in the same place.

Senior

Senior men

Senior Men’s Division League

Our main competition. District sides play through divisions across limited-overs and longer formats, with promotion and relegation between seasons.

Senior women

Senior Women’s Division League

The same structure for women’s District Association sides. Squads come out of the same open trials as everyone else’s.

Boys

Boys Under‑23

Boys Under‑23 Championship

The step between age-group and senior cricket, for players who need more overs before they make the jump.

Boys Under‑19

Boys Under‑19 Championship

The age group selectors watch hardest. Longer formats, heavier workloads, full match conditions.

Boys Under‑16

Boys Under‑16 Championship

A player’s first full-length competition. District squads are picked from open trials.

Boys Under‑14

Boys Under‑14 Development League

Competitive cricket to start with. Short formats, managed workloads, and everyone gets a bat and a bowl.

Girls

Girls Under‑19

Girls Under‑19 Championship

Where the selectors look hardest. Longer innings, full match conditions, and the last age group before the senior league.

Girls Under‑15

Girls Under‑15 Championship

The first organised cricket most girls play. Grounding in the basics, plenty of time in the middle, workloads kept light.

Season calendar

Dates, draws, results

The office issues the season calendar: tournament windows, entry deadlines and the draw for each age group. It goes up on the notice board before the season starts.

Once a tournament starts, fixtures and results are posted against it and kept current. Entry deadlines are firm. A side that misses one doesn't get slotted in afterwards, because the draw has already been built around the entries we had.

Regulations

The standing rules

Full playing conditions come with each season's circular. These rules apply across every CAUP competition, every year.

  • Registration first. Only registered players take the field in an association competition.
  • Age verification. Your age group follows the documents checked at registration, against the cut-off date in that season's regulations.
  • One team per season. You play for one team per competition, unless the association approves a transfer in writing.
  • Neutral officials. The association appoints umpires and scorers. The competing sides don't.
  • Workload limits. Junior age groups are played under spell and over limits set for that age.
  • Conduct. Players, team officials and spectators are all bound by the code of conduct. Breaches go to the committee.

For the current regulations of a specific competition, write to office@caup.in.
