India cancels T20 Champions League

The inaugural six-million dollar Twenty20 Champions League has been cancelled and will now be held in India in October next year, organisers said on Friday.

The tournament, featuring the top eight Twenty20 domestic teams from Australia, South Africa, India, England and Pakistan, was initially due to be held from December 3-10 in Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore.

It was put off after last month's terror strikes in Mumbai and was expected to be held in January, but has now been postponed again until next October.

The decision to cancel the tournament this year was taken "after considering all aspects, including the international calendar and the domestic schedules of the participating teams", a statement from the organisers said.
