SJ Uplift will take charge of the league’s overall operations and business strategy, managing everything from execution to long-term growth. Their responsibilities will include developing the franchise structure, securing sponsorships and media deals, and shaping the league’s identity as a strong cricketing brand.

Aim to establish T20 league

Ajay Nath Shahdeo, President of the JSCA, expressed confidence in the move, stating that the association aims to establish a professionally managed T20 competition in Jharkhand. He highlighted that SJ Uplift’s experience with franchise-based leagues fits well with their goal of creating a stable and well-organised platform for the sport.
