Cricket Leagues - Announcements

I feel TT will be more valuable but IPL will be more exciting.

So I'll go with the majority...





















So the majority says IPL XI. It'll be up soon. :)
DD for me.

The Asian section of the 2019 Cricket World Cup qualification will act as qualifiers for the 2019 Cricket World Cup, set to be hosted by England & Wales. A total of 24 nations will participate in the process, among them 5 'Full Members' of the ICC - the most for any continental zone. The tournament will be hosted by Malaysia, who are set to host their biggest ever cricket tournament since the 1998 Commonwealth Games which featured 16 teams. They will also aim to prove their credentials as a possible venue for Pakistan's 'home' internationals, due to scheduling conflicts with various upcoming T20 leagues forcing them to move their matches out of their adopted home venue in the United Arab Emirates, where they have been playing almost all their home matches since 2009.

The format for the Asian qualifiers includes the single elimination or knockout format, followed by a round-robin group stage format. The first round of the competition is set to be played in the knockout format featuring 16 teams vying for 8 available spots in the group stages. The other 8 teams - namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates get a direct bye to the group stages.

The 4 group winners or table toppers from the group stages qualify directly for the 2019 Cricket World Cup. A set of playoffs between the second ranked teams of their respective groups will be contested using the knockout format to determine the other 3 available berths. For the sake of novelty, a tournament final between the two top ranked teams in the group stages will be played to determine the strongest nation in what is arguably cricket's most powerful region.

Sign-ups are open for the following teams:



Simply click the logos and you will be directed to their respective squads on the index.

Sign-ups will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. To sign-up, simply post the name of an available team before anyone else does and that team shall be yours. It's that simple. Managers are permitted to sign up for as many as 2 teams (in very special cases 3 if the number of sign-ups are below what is deemed satisfactory), however no manager is allowed to sign up for more than one Test/ODI nation (Hong Kong, having just lost their ODI status earlier this year still counts as an ODI nation). Also, signing up as a co-manager of a team that has already been claimed will not be tolerated when there are as many as 24 teams available. Your signup will be rejected if you do so.

2008 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TWENTY20

CURRENT EDITION






2008 Champions League Twenty20. The fifth iteration of the tournament is set to feature twelve teams, the most it has since its inception. It will see clubs from India, Kenya, the Netherlands and Scotland for the first time. It is also the first season of the Champions League to be played across multiple countries, hence making it the biggest Champions League till date. Kenya and Zimbabwe will play hosts, alongside South Africa, who also hosted the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 the year previous to this, and are gearing up to host the ICC Champions Trophy next year.

Making South Africa the first country to host both of the two top-tiered twenty20 tournaments of the world. Five venues are selected to entertain the matches of the Champions League, three from South Africa, and one from Kenya and Zimbabwe each. All stadiums will host the pool games, and at least one knockout. Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town, Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo and the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg will host two knockouts, each, with the latter also hosting the final.

Only two teams from the previous season are going to return; Sialkot Stallions of Pakistan, and winners from the last year, the Victorian Bushrangers of Australia. An increase in the number of teams has also prompted a format change to the tournament. Last year, eight teams participated. They were split into two groups of four, and played each other once after which the top-two teams from those pools moved onto the knockouts. This season, the twelve teams that are participating will be separated into four pools of three, where the top-two teams from each pool will qualify for the knockouts.

South African fast bowler Morne Morkel was contracted to two teams participating in this year's Champions League Twenty20, after which, the tournament instituted the 'Player Clashes' rule. Where, if a player is contracted by two or more than two participating teams in the same year, the said player will be declared available to only one. If that player is a local to any of the teams, then he will automatically be selected for that team's squad. If not, the player will be considered an overseas to all teams, and will be offered to the team with the least number of overseas players. It is up to the team if whether they want to select that player. This year, Morne Morkel is in the squads of both, Kent Spitfires and Nashua Titans. Going by the rules, he will play for the latter mentioned team. For his hometeam.
