NARRATIVE - Main Timeline

ECB Invitational/Name TBD (2004)

• Modeled after the 2009 British Asian Cup
• Played as an exhibition series/one-off game in June at The Oval to drum up interest before 2004 Twenty20 Cup; not meant to be a long-term thing
• The "tournament" is widely regarded as a success because of its format and its place on the calendar
• Winners of the one-off game/series mistakenly get reported as "International Club Champions" by a media outlet and the ECB are like
  

International 20:20 Club Championship (2005-2006)

• Modeled after the IRL International 20:20 Club Championship; with some elements from 2000 FIFA Club World Championship
