DUBAI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that the Champions League Twenty20 competition has not been incorporated into its Future Tours Programme (FTP).
ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said, ‘the ICC Board worked together last October to come up with a date for this year’s Champions League tournament that was mutually convenient for all. However, that was only as part of a wider discussion on when we could play the ICC Champions Trophy, which was postponed from Pakistan in 2008 and relocated to South Africa.’
‘The FTP does not include any fixtures between domestic teams, even those from more than one country, and only features ICC events, such as the ICC Cricket World Cup, the ICC Champions Trophy and the ICC World Twenty20, and bilateral fixtures between Full Member international teams.
‘I have been in touch with Lalit Modi and we are in full agreement on this matter,’ added Lorgat.
The ICC Champions Trophy, the One-Day International event between the top eight ICC Full Member sides – Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies – will take place in South Africa between 23 September and 5 October.
The Champions League Twenty20 tournament featuring domestic teams from Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa and the West Indies, will be held from 8 – 23 October, it was announced by Modi earlier this week.
