Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025: Full Schedule, Team Squads & Venue List

The 2025–26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, India’s domestic T20 tournament, is scheduled from 26 November to 18 December 2025, featuring all 38 teams that compete in the Ranji Trophy. The competition is structured into four Elite groups and a Plate group, with the top two teams from each Elite group advancing to the Super League stage, followed by the knockout rounds.

One major change this year is the abolition of the “Impact Player” rule by the BCCI, meaning teams can no longer swap in a twelfth player during matches. After Mumbai’s victory over Madhya Pradesh in the 2024 final, this edition is also expected to see fierce competition. Experienced Indian players such as Hardik Pandya and Shreyas Iyer might feature in the league, which will attract more fans to the stadiums.

Matches will be held across major cricketing centers like Mumbai, Delhi, Indore, Mohali, and Kolkata. Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy usually serves as a key tournament based on which selections to the national T20 side are also made, so all the young players will be looking to make a mark and to catch the selectors' eye.
