INDOOR CRICKET LEAGUE FOR MEN


WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
For ages 12–15
Outdoor windball cricket
Summer holiday season
Fast games. Big moments.
THE JUNIOR HUNDRED IS WHERE YOUNG TALENT TAKES CENTRE STAGE.
The Junior Hundred is Cricket Arena’s premier outdoor summer tournament for boys aged 12–15 — bringing together madrasahs, community teams, and schools from across Sheffield for a full day of action-packed cricket.
The 8-a-side format with 50-ball innings delivers fast-paced, exciting matches that test both skill and teamwork. Players compete in a group stage and knockout finals — all played on top-quality 2G Flicx pitches.
But it’s more than just cricket. Players grow in confidence, learn leadership, and build friendships in a positive, structured environment. Winners go on to represent Sheffield in the county-wide Yorkshire Junior Hundred — giving young talent a platform to shine.
Backed by partners like Central Co-Op, Yorkshire Cricket Foundation, Sheffield City Trust and in 2025 by the MHCLG Windrush Day scheme — the Junior Hundred helps youth potential thrive on a big stage.
TESTIMONIALS FROM PARTICIPANTS

BBICL gave me a competitive edge during the off-season. The fast-paced indoor format kept me sharp, and the energy every week was unreal. It’s more than just a league – it’s a family.
Awais Ishfaq

I started playing in BBICL just for fun, but it turned into something much bigger. I got my first experience in umpiring here, and now I feel confident officiating games. It’s a perfect place to grow your cricket knowledge on and off the field.
Shohaib Khaliq

The best part of BBICL is the atmosphere. Whether you’re a serious player or just here to enjoy cricket, you feel welcome. The tournaments are intense, and the friendships I’ve made through this league are for life.

Playing in the Youth Hundred gave me the platform to test myself. Every match felt like a final. Representing my area and playing alongside lads I grew up with—there’s nothing like it.
