The league will be played in a floodlit polo ground and the player auction will be held in January next year. The matches will be played in a “brand new format” and each team will have four players.

Commenting on the launch, Parekh said, “It is an emotional moment for me as I announce this polo League. It has not been a journey that I have traversed alone, the whole fraternity has shown full support. I am grateful to everyone and I hope that all of us together can take the sport of polo to newer heights with this league.”
