[PDF] CLT20 Schedule 2014 | Champions League T20 Squads and History

Champions League Twenty20 [CLT20] is an initiative of the BCCI, Cricket Australia and Cricket South Africa that brings together the best domestic clubs from across the world in a  battle for Twenty20 honours. CLT20 can be viewed as the World Cup of club cricket. It is a platform  for domestic/club players, preparing them for the next step –  representing, or performing even better for, their countries.

The Champions League Twenty20, also referred to as the CLT20, is an annual international T20 cricket competition played between the top domestic teams from major cricketing nations. The competition was launched in 2008 with the first edition held in October 2009. Some players are part of more than one team, which is winner of particular country's domestic competition, like wise Shoaib Malik from Pakistan, represented three different teams from different domestic circuits. In this case, if a player is selected to play for an ‘away’ team rather than his  ‘home’ team (the team from the country he is eligible to represent in international cricket), the ‘away’ team must pay USD 150,000 as release fee to the ‘home’ team. ‘Away’ teams are not eligible for compensation if a player chooses to play for his ‘home’ team.

 

History of CLT20

The inaugural competition featured 12 sides from seven nations and was held in October 2009 in India. New South Wales Blues, Australia emerged winners of the tournament. In 2010, CLT20 moved to South Africa where 10 sides from six nations locked horns at four venues. IPL 2010 winners Chennai Super Kings reigned supreme after a fortnight of top notch competition. Year 2011 saw CLT20 returning to India with a pre-tournament qualifier making it possible for more teams than ever to be part of the race for the title. Six teams faced off in a qualifier out of which the three proceeded to join seven already confirmed teams, making it a 10-team tournament. For the second year in a row an IPL team, Mumbai Indians, were crowned champion of champions.

In 2012, the Sydney Sixers were crowned the new CLT20 champions in Johannesburg, South Africa. In the title clash at the New Wanderers Stadium, the Sixers defeated the Highveld Lions to take home the magnificent CLT20 trophy. For its 2013 season, the CLT20 once again returned to India. Eight teams – three IPL teams, including Mumbai Indians, two teams each from South Africa, Australia and Trinidad & Tobago – given straight entry into the main tournament. Four teams – one each from Sri Lanka, New Zealand, India and Pakistan – competed in the pre-tournament Qualifiers of which the top two entered the league phase.

Why People call him “SIR JADEJA” ?

It’s nothing like, any official nighthood tag from Queen Elizabeth, but just a taunt on his style of playing and doing funny things. On 13 April 2013 in an IPL match for CSK vs RCB, when CSK looked like loosing a match, he came out to bat and produced a magical win for them. He made it look like a simple game, running two runs on every ball. After match, CSK captain MS Dhoni tweeted 
“When you give Sir Ravindra Jadeja one ball to get two runs, he will win it with a ball to spare.”
CSK needing two to win off the last ball and Jadeja was on strike. RCB’s RP Singh bowled a no-ball. Even though Jadeja was out, the no-ball and the fact that Jadeja and Chris Morris crossed over for a single to a win for CSK with one ball to spare!
