KUALA LUMPUR: South Africa was chosen as the host of this year’s Champions League T20 tournament by cricket chiefs yesterday. “South Africa will host the Champions League Twenty20 this year, all other details to follow soon,” tweeted Sundar Raman, a member of the tournament’s technical committee. The fourth edition of the club Twenty20 tournament will be held in October. Last month India invited Pakistan’s domestic champions Sialkot Stallions to join the Champions League in what was considered a breakthrough towards the resumption of sporting ties between the two countries. The tournament is a joint initiative between India, South Africa and Australia. The announcement was made on the sidelines of the International Cricket Council’s annual conference, which is taking place this week in the Malaysian capital.
