ICC Finalises Dates For 2009 Champions Trophy

Mumbai: BCCI and ICC seem to be an a collision course yet again. And the reason for it is the multi-million dollar Champions League T20 events. The 2009 tourney was scheduled to be held from September 25 to October 11 in India, but now the tournament has run into rough weather due to the Champions Trophy 2009.

The Champions Trophy, considered by many as a mini World Cup, will be held in Pakistan from September 24 to October 5, 2009 and it has the backing of all the boards. The board will decide on that venue following India's tour of Pakistan in early 2009, after which a security assessment is due, so that it can provide certainty to teams, broadcasters, commercial partners and other stakeholders. The schedule will be announced in due course.

"BCCI president Shashank Manohar was part of the two day meeting and the other boards to were represented by the presidents that was held in Dubai and he agreed to the Champions Trophy dates. So I'm sure, the BCCI and other countries having a stake in the Champions League (Cricket South Africa and Cricket Australia) will postpone the Champions League," said a key member of the ICC.
