Just like the last season, there are two divisions in which the whole tournament will be played: elite and plate. Elite division will have 32 teams divided into four groups of eight sides each while six teams will compete in the plate division.
All teams will play each other once in the group stage before top two teams from every elite division group advancing to quarter-finals. From there on it will be a knock out tournament.
In the plate division, six teams will play each other once each and the top two will earn a promotion for the Ranji Trophy season. The bottom two from all the four elite division groups combined will be relegated to the plate division.
The tournament will be staged in two halves to avoid obstruction of play due to the cold weather in northern parts of India. First five rounds will take place from October 11 to November 13 before the tournament will resume on January 23 for the remaining rounds and knock-outs.
Mumbai are the defending champions.
