Victorian Elite Cricket League: A Platform for Young Talent

​

The Victorian Elite Cricket League (VECL) is a T20 tournament tailored for young cricketers aged 19 and under. The inaugural tournament kicked off on December 23, 2024, and wrapped up on December 31, 2024. Over 110 boys and girls from Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory participated in 33 matches over the span of seven days. This league provided an exhilarating platform for fierce competition and skill development. More than 300 players from Victoria and other states underwent a selection process for 110 spots across five teams per franchise.

​

The next edition of VECL JT20 in March 2025 proved to be an even greater success, featuring 140 players from across the nation vying for victory! A total of thirty-five matches were played on turf wickets, resulting in nearly 6,000 runs scored, alongside an impressive tally of over 300 wickets taken by our remarkable junior bowlers.

​

The third edition of VECL will be the 12 and Under JT20 Championship, set to take place during the school holidays from July 7 to July 18. Each player will have the chance to compete in five T20 matches on Synthetic Wickets, with the finals planned for July 18. Anticipation is already mounting as the organisers promise an even larger tournament featuring three franchises and an enhanced event experience. The success of the Victorian Elite Cricket League has ignited significant interest among young cricketers, many of whom are eager to display their talent on this esteemed stage.

​

As the upcoming season approaches, coaches and players are gearing up for intensive training sessions to sharpen their skills and strategies. The league serves as both a competition and a celebration of the spirit of cricket, promoting camaraderie and sportsmanship among all participants.

​

Community support has been phenomenal, with fans and families uniting to cheer for the future stars of cricket. The VECL JT20 is more than just a tournament; it’s a festival of cricketing excellence that promises thrilling action, unforgettable moments, and the rise of new cricketing legends. So, mark your calendars and get ready for another spectacular season of cricketing brilliance!
