I think CSK is the only Team, which not miss a single CLT20...

Including 4 IPL teams, when even second placers of some leagues need to play qualifiers is for sure not acceptable,but what could we do?

No for Champions Leauges, there are always more teams involved from the top leagues. Take the football UEFA champions' league for instance. from the top leagues like EPL and La Liga, 4 teams qualify, while even champions of smaller leagues need to play qualifiers, and many rounds of qualifiers.

So I don't have an issues with the reservation, IPL is the biggest league of this sort, and naturally it gets more teams. Also UEFA Qualification slots are based on how a league's sides participate in European competitions, and naturally, with 3 of the 5 CL T20 having been IPL teams, their points are going to be high, which pushes up the no. of places they get in the CL T20.

Its not about IPL, if say Big Bash teams won a few eiditions then I am sure they would get more teams in, and same for others.

I would though definitely like all teams from all T20 leagues around the world to participate even if only in the qualifiers. While to do understand that the County season clashes with the tournament, but it would have been good to have English teams play too.

I feel that T20 is not serious enough cricket to be played at the Int'l level. Its good enough only for club level, IPL Big Bash type leagues, and CL T20 should be the pinnacle of T20 cricket, and the biggest thing that can be won in T20 cricket. Playing T20 at Int'l level is just silly.

Is there any particular reason why so far the CL T20 has only been held in India and SA. I would love the CL T20 to be held in other places like Australia or WI. I wonder why besides Ind and SA no other nation has had a go at it. Is it that they are not interested or other reasons?

Finally, a good team from Pakistan is going to play Champions League T20. Sialkot went & came early because they weren't strong enough. Same happened with Faisalabad, now it's time for Lahore to prove that why they are the best team of Pakistan.

CLT20: I like to be a mean winner, says Gautam Gambhir

​

"We always take the field thinking that we will win and this time it is no different. Ideally, one should not be thinking about the title in the first lap of the competition but such is the subconscious mind that it often takes you to the title leap even before you reach there. That is why I want to focus on the first game against Chennai (on September 17) and not go too far," Gambhir told PTI in an interview on Tuesday.

Asked whether he hurts himself at times by being too intense, the 32-year-old left-hander says that "it's too late in the day to change himself".[DOUBLEPOST=1410281494][/DOUBLEPOST]Kieron Pollard as Mumbai Indians captain in CLT20 2014

​

Rohit Sharma’s injury leaves Mumbai Indians (MI) to ponder over who will lead Mumbai Indians in the Champions League T20 2014 (CLT20). Kieron Pollard seems to be the front-runner if recent developments are to be taken in to account. Abhijit Banare analyses MI under Pollard’s leadership.
Why Pollard? On some other day, the franchisee would’ve requested Harbhajan Singh (lead in MI’s first CLT20 win in 2011) to fill the gap for one tournament. However, Pollard’s success in getting the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title for Barbados Tridents gives the franchisee a viable option. A new captain means fresh ideas on the table. His success with Tridents also adds to his credibility and respect within the team.[DOUBLEPOST=1410281553][/DOUBLEPOST]Ahmed Shehzad ducks media queries on Lahore Lions' arrival in India

Controversial Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad today evaded all queries relating to his alleged religious comments made towards veteran Sri Lankan batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan during a recently concluded ODI series between the two countries.

The 22-year-old Shehzad today arrived with the Lahore Lions squad in Delhi this afternoon to play in the Champions League T20.

As he came out of the International terminal standing with his luggage, some of the mediapersons asked Shehzad about his alleged religious comments to Dilshan. The young batsman chose to look through the scribes and decided to completely ignore their queries as one of their officials told the media not to hound Shehzad.

The PCB chief Shahryar Khan has already termed Shehzad's comments to be "stupid".
