MUMBAI, July 31 (Reuters): India, Australia and South Africa will go ahead with a $6 million (3 million pounds) Champions Twenty20 League despite objections from the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The boards met Wednesday to announce the September 29-October 8 event, starting just a day after the Champions Trophy final in Pakistan despite ICC rules requiring a week's gap after its tournaments.
The league organisers said the rule applied only for international cricket and Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said the league would essentially be a domestic tournament.
