THE inaugural Twenty20 Champions League has been cancelled. Organisers have hinted the tournament, to be played in October next year, may be expanded beyond eight teams.
Senior executives from India, Australia and South Africa conducted a tele-conference last night, during which no window could be found to accommodate the 10-day tournament.
The Champions League was initially scheduled to run over 10 days and conclude on December 13, however the Mumbai terror attacks prompted tournament organisers to postpone
it pending last night's meeting. The Champions League council agreed that the finalists of domestic Twenty20 leagues in India, Australia and South Africa would advance to the Champions League but left the door open for more teams to be admitted when a final decision was made in late January. Sialkot (Pakistan) and Middlesex rounded out the initial roster.
All teams that qualified for the original Champions League, including Victoria and Western Australia, will have to qualify again.
