Champions Twenty20 league postponed
In the wake of the terror attacks on Mumbai, India the champions league which was scheduled to be organized in India starting from December 3rd was postponed. The league was planned to be organized in three cities in India, one of which is the terror struck Mumbai.
However, the Champions Twenty20 League was not canceled and was only postponed. It is reported that the organizers of this tournament will meet on December 8th to discuss the possibility of rescheduling of this event early in the next year. This tournament involves eight teams and money worth six million US dollars and thus it is not possible to completely scrap the tournament.
Rescheduling the tournament is not an easy task, said one of the spokesman. 2009 was filled with the very busy schedules of them teams and to find a gap to accommodate the tournament when all the teams are free is a challenging task. Finding free venues, dealing with broadcasters and sponsors is another big task. It was suggested by some to organize the league in Australia but finally it was decided to be organized in India.
