MUMBAI: The Governing Council of the Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) confirmed that the tournament will be discontinued with immediate effect.
The Governing Council of the CLT20, comprising representatives of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Cricket Australia (CA) made the decision unanimously on Wednesday.
As such the 2015 CLT20 scheduled for September and October will not go ahead as planned.
The competition was launched in 2009 by the BCCI with CA and CSA. The Governing Council determined that the discontinuation of the league was the most appropriate decision due to the tournament’s limited public following.
It is pertinent to mention here that Supreme Court of India had banned two Indian Premier League (IPL) teams, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals for two year due to betting in IPL 2013.
