ICC meeting deadlocked – Is it curtains for the Champions League?

The International Cricket Council and the organizers of Championship were unable to arrive at an agreement over the scheduling the Champions League.
Reports indicate that both parties are conscious of the others predicament, however, the packed International schedule provides few alternatives. Nevertheless, they are considering two alternative windows, one just in advance of the Australia’s tour to India and one more between March and April next year.
The unavailability of the players may well nix the first option leaving them only the March – April slot. If the Champions League were to be deferred to March next year, it will very well mean its abandonment as Australia and South Africa will have new Twenty20 Champions by then.
The next 48 hours will decide the destiny of the inaugural Champions League.
