The Champions League involving four countries--Australia, England, South Africa and India will be played in September. The top 2 teams from each country's domestic T20 tournament will qualify for this tournament with the winner walking away with $5 Million.
Already, Rajasthan Royals lead by Shane Warne and Chennai Super Kings XI lead by Mahedra Singh Dhoni have qualified from IPL.
The complete detail is yet to be confirmed, but Cricket Australia are currently drawing up the regulations which will deal with the issues of Indian Cricket League players and potential conflicts for players involved with more than one team.
The event will conduct 15 matches in 10 days. The prize money will be distributed to the first four positions.
The teams qualified are:
Western Australia from Australia
Victoria from Australia
Dolphis from South Africa
Titans from South Africa
Rajasthan Royals from IPL, India
Chennai Super Kings from IPL, India
England's domestic T20 will begin next week and the two teams will be finalized soon.
This event throws up a number of potential conflicts, not least involving an players linked to the unofficial ICL. Chris Read, Vikram Solanki, Stuart Law, Niall O'Brien and Paul Nixon all appeared in the ICL, and if their counties qualify their inclusion will be a major conflict with the Indian board.
The other issue that will occur is involving players who are contracted to more than one of the teams involved, for example Mike Hussey who played for Chennai in the IPL and is also from Western Australia. The clash could also happen with overseas players in county cricket, for example David Hussey, who plays for Nottinghamshire and Victoria.
We have to wait and see what decisions are taken for the issues relating to ICL.
