Inaugural Champions League Cricket will be held in India from September 29 to October 8 at three venues – New Delhi, Mohali and Jaipur. Eight teams will participate in this prestigious event (2 teams each from India, Australia, South Africa and England). But only England T20 cup winner Middlesex will be allowed to participate in the event but runners-up Kent was not allowed to participate in this show-piece event as it contains two ICL players i.e. Azhar Mahmood and Justin Kemp. Pakistan T20 champions Sialkot Stallions will replace Kent in this cricket tournament despite having two ICL players i.e. Rana Naved and Imran Nazeer. It happens only in India!

 

Champions League will be held in India just one day after the conclusion of ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Victorian Bushrangers and Western Australian Warriors from Australia will represent Australia while Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings will represent India.

 

This eight team Champions League cricket tournament offers $6 million (Rs 25 crore) as prize money. England is also planning to conduct a rival Champions League cricket tournament to make the matters worse.

 

Cricket nostalgia: First International Cricket (unofficial) was held between United States and Canada in 1844. First offical cricket match was held between arch rivals, England and Australia.
