Test Twenty backed by AB de Villiers, Matthew Hayden, Sir Clive Lloyd, and Harbhajan Singh to allow.
Test Twenty, cricket’s revolutionary Fourth Format, has partnered with CricHeroes, the world’s largest grassroots cricket platform as the Official Stats Partner for the Junior Test Twenty Championship (JTTC), set to debut globally in 2026.
Backed by cricket icons AB de Villiers, Matthew Hayden, Sir Clive Lloyd, and Harbhajan Singh, Test Twenty is an 80 over format that fuses Test cricket’s strategic depth with T20’s intensity. Created by sports visionary Gaurav Bahirvani, the format features four innings of 20 overs each, with teams batting and bowling twice in same-day competitive fixtures.
The JTTC will feature six elite franchises, three from India and three from international markets, competing in a tournament designed for players aged 13 years till 19 years. With nearly 25 million young cricketers entering the ecosystem annually, Test Twenty is positioned as the world’s largest youth talent pipeline and the cricket equivalent of America’s NCAA pathway.
As Official Stats Partner, CricHeroes will power live scoring across trials, regional and global combines, and tournament matches. The platform will provide centralized performance dashboards, digitized player profiles accessible to franchises and scouts, and long-term statistical tracking creating the most data-driven youth cricket structure ever built.
Gaurav Bahirvani, Founder & CEO, Test Twenty, shares, “Data is the backbone of talent discovery. CricHeroes has transformed grassroots cricket by giving every player a performance identity. Their integration makes JTTC the world’s most transparent, merit driven pathway for youth cricketers.”
Abhishek Desai, Founder, CricHeroes, shares, “The Junior Test Twenty Championship aligns perfectly with our mission to elevate grassroots cricket globally. As official Stats Partner, we’ll bring world class analytics to young players on an unprecedented scale, redefining how talent is discovered and nurtured.”
