Champions League T20 Discontinued

New Delhi: The Governing Council of the Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) on Wednesday confirmed that the CLT20 competition will be discontinued with immediate effect.

The council consists of representatives of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Cricket Australia (CA).

The 2015 edition, scheduled for September and October, will not go ahead.

Anurag Thakur, Honourary Secretary of the BCCI said: "This has been a difficult decision as the Champions League T20 provided added context to a number of domestic Twenty20 competitions around the world such as the IPL in India, Big Bash League in Australia and South Africa's Ram Slam T20."

It was a fantastic platform for players from around the world to showcase their talent and the participating teams thoroughly enjoyed the experience over the last six seasons.

Unfortunately, off the field, Champions League T20 wasn’t sustaining the interest of the fans as we had hoped.

It had been previously reported that the BCCI authorities were thinking about a 'mini-IPL' in place of the CLT20.
