Velachery Warriors

One of the four VECL Chennai franchises, each named for a south Chennai neighbourhood. The Warriors come from one of the oldest cricketing pockets in south Chennai, and are the shortest trip for families inside the city.

All four clubs are owned by the league. After the team selection days the panel drafts players across them, band by band, so that no club is stacked — players do not choose a club, and requests are not taken. A player keeps their club for the whole season, and every club fields a squad in every age band that runs. A band without enough registrations is merged upward or held over to the next season.

Matches are franchise T20 on Sundays, scored live ball by ball and streamed. The squad and fixtures are published once the draft is complete.
