South Africa to host Champions League T20
South Africa will be the host nation for this year's Champions League Twenty20. The decision to name the African country was announced by CLT20 Technical Commitee member, Sundar Raman. Raman tweeted: South Africa will host CLT20 this year. All other details to follow soon. The matches will be hosted in four venues: Centurion, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban
and will be held in October this year.
South Africa had hosted the 2010 edition of the CLT20 and is all set to host it for the second time. India hosted the multi-starrer tournament in 2009 and 2011.
The tournament will see top teams from India, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, England and West Indies fight for what is perhaps the biggest prize in club cricket.
Last month India invited Pakistan's domestic champions Sialkot Stallions to join the Champions League, in what was considered a breakthrough towards the resumption of sporting ties between the two countries.
The announcement was made on the sidelines of the International Cricket Council's annual conference, which is taking place this week in the Malaysian capital.
