If I were McCullam I would have given my country's state team the first priority no matter how much cash was offered.

Ryan McLaren also plays for the Eagles so it will be harder to decide who he plays for since his IPL team isn't there.
The difference between the Uefa Champions League and this is that in the UCL, there isn't players who are contracted to two different teams. The IPL has a major advantage as they get first choice so for the Cape Cobras they lose Kallis, Gibbs and Boucher, how is that fair.
The Eagles also lose a player and I am sure the other teams will lose player too. This is a tournament in India, Heavily weighted towards the Indian teams.

The IPL teams will get first choice? From where did you get this news? I'm not aware of this, but if this is true then it's really really unfair.

I read it somewhere but I am not sure where.

Its a joke really. But then with the money involved it can be seen why the other teams still want to participate. If the Copras lose Kallis, Gibbs and Boucher, then its really really disappointing.

Actually the Pakistan government was not asked about whether they would allow the Sialkot Stallions (or whichever T20 side won) to travel to India. Travel restrictions to India have been eased as of now; Lalit Modi likes to make up bullshit out of his ass all the time.
Ah well, his loss, after all, Sialkot is the #1 T20 side in Cricket. (According to some site I can't remember
)

Deccan are def. not the best, I'd say it would be Victoria (I think, whichever Australian side keeps winning (The one with Hodge and Cam White)).
(The one with Hodge and Cam White)).
It's reported in quite a few news stories. The IPL team has first rights to any player but they have to pay compensation for using that player. So similar to what NSW is trying with McCullum but he actually gets to choose cause KKR didn't make it.
The poll has been updated, any word on who the 2 TBC teams will be?

Add Dussey to that team as well
Sadly the will lose Nannes but their bowling depth is one of the best going around.
The 2 best English teams. Lancashire and Northants are the only 2 who have full points so far, but there's still a long way to go. They have a break for the World Cup for a couple of weeks, then finish the preliminary games at the end of June. Another few weeks off and the quarterfinals are late July, semis and final in mid August.

So, the T20 Champions of the World, not having a representitive in the Champions League. Some Champions League, Mr. Modi, some champions league.

^ Well, what can Modi do if the PCB refuses to send their players to India?

PCB didn't refuse, that was Government of Pakistan.
And that has been lifted for some time now.
Anyway, Champions League without the real Champions... this is gonna be a joke

Has that been? Didn't know this. Well, if this is the case, then they might allow a Pakistani team. There's still time. Why don't we wait?

We can wait, but I think Lalit Modi has already set his mind on inviting 2 teams from every country except Pakistan.
Ah well, his loss, not ours.
You dont care about IPL, you dont care about Lalit Modi. Why do you care about a Pakistani T20 domestic team not playing the Champions league? Get on with other work, then! You dont think this is big. Then why bother talking?
Lalit Modi will do whatever he wants. Tensions between India and Pakistan will mean that Pakistan will not be considered when teams from other countries come to the Champions league. You have to cope with it (if you're interested about it)
