According to some media reports, a total of 12 teams will participate in this three-day tournament and along with Team India, teams like India's arch-rival Pakistan, England, Australia will also participate. However, it has not been decided yet which players will play in this tournament. According to the organizers, the objective of this tournament is to connect new fans with cricket.

Actually this is the shortest format of cricket, which can be called 5-5. In this, maximum 6 players can play in a team and here the game of 5 overs is played in an innings. The interesting thing is that in this match, even if a team loses the first 5 wickets, the last batsman of the team will bat alone and this innings will be considered over only when either the entire 5 overs are over or that last batsman also Will be out.

An interesting rule is that here the batsman will leave the crease as soon as he scores 31 runs. Now he will be able to come back to bat only when the rest of the batsmen of the team are either out or retired.

In this match, except the wicketkeeper, all the other players will have to bowl one over each. Apart from this, the team will get two extra runs on every wide and no-ball. Apart from this, in the final of the tournament, 8 balls will have to be bowled in an over instead of 6.
