T20 Champions League postponed

Published July 26, 2008

NEW DELHI: Cricket’s multi-million dollar Twenty20 Champions League has been postponed, an Indian official said on Friday, amid reports of wrangling over terms and conditions.

The inaugural football-style League, featuring the top two Twenty20 domestic sides from England, Australia, South Africa, India and possibly Pakistan, was to be held across India between September 30 and October 8.

Indian cricket official Lalit Modi said the Champions League would be held at a later date. “There is no plan to shelve the tournament but the dates will be finalised after the Champions Trophy in Pakistan in September,” Modi was quoted as saying in the local media.—Agencies
