South Africa to Host 2010 Champions League

Mumbai: The 2010 Champions League Twenty20 will be held in South Africa. The tournament, which was hosted in India last year, will feature 12 teams, including three from the IPL this year.

The competition will take place across three venues, two of which will be the home grounds of the Standard Bank Pro20 finalists this year. The competition will run from September 10 to 26.

CSA President, Dr Mtutuzeli Nyoka was quoted in a media release as saying: "This is a prestigious tournament involving seven of the world's top cricket nations. It will be another feather in South Africa's cap as a host of world-class sports events and will not clash in any way with the FIFA World Cup 2010.

"It will also be a big boost to the local franchises, their players and supporters which will feature in the tournament."

South Africa had hosted the IPL in 2009, after the tournament was moved out of India as it clashed with the country's general elections.
