The ICC has indicated its displeasure over the conduct of the Twenty20 Champions League immediately after the Champions Trophy in Pakistan in September and has written about this in an email sent to its member boards.
The email said the scheduling of an international event within seven days of an ICC tournament is contrary to ICC rules. It also said broadcasters ESPN-Star Sports had reportedly stated their concern over the close proximity of the two tournaments devaluing the importance of the Champions Trophy.
The Champions Trophy will be held for September 11-28, while the Champions League is scheduled for September 29-October 8 in India. BCCI, Cricket Australia and Cricket South Africa officials are to meet tomorrow to decide the detailed schedule of the tournament.

Time has come for India taking top spot in world cricket.
