ICC Cancels Plans to Revive Champions League T20 After Board Opposition
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has abandoned plans to revive a global T20 franchise tournament similar to the former Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) after opposition from the cricket boards of India, Australia, and England. These boards cited calendar congestion as the main reason, opposing additional tournaments until at least 2031. The original CLT20, held from 2009 to 2014, ended due to low viewership and financial losses. The ICC aimed to increase revenue and control over franchise cricket but faced resistance from the sport's major stakeholders.
