Champions League Twenty20 canceled
Print Edition
THE Champions League Twenty20 has been canceled due to a lack of public interest, a major setback for cricket’s newest and shortest format.
The annual tournament, launched in 2009 and featuring the world’s leading domestic T20 teams, was jointly run by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Cricket Australia, and Cricket South Africa, and was due to be staged in September and October. The “discontinuation of the league was the most appropriate decision due to the tournament’s limited public following”, the BCCI said in a statement yesterday. The cancellation was announced a day after the Indian Supreme Court-appointed committee issued two-year bans for two Indian Premier League clubs and life bans for two officials in the wake of a corruption scandal triggered by a spot-fixing investigation in 2013. There’s uncertainty over the immediate future of former champions Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
