South Africa to host T20 Champions League

South Africa will host this year’s edition of Champions League Twenty20 cricket, it was announced on Sunday.

The tournament, featuring the top two provincial sides from the leading nations plus three from the Indian Premier league, will be held from September 10-26.

“South Africa is considered an ideal T20 host after successfully staging the Indian Premier League and ICC World Twenty20 tournaments in recent years, as well as the strong support shown for its domestic Pro20 Series competition,” said Champions League chairman Lalit Modi.
