The Indian Cricket Board has rejected England's invitation to play in their version of Champions League to be held in Sharjah in October, giving a new twist to the dispute between the two Boards over the Twenty20 event.
BCCI Vice-President and Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Modi has conveyed India's decision to England and Wales Cricket Board Chief Executive David Collier, who had sent the invite.
India's refusal to take part in ECB's Twenty20 initiative came a day after BCCI made it clear that it would go ahead with its own version of the Champions League in India and was prepared to leave out teams from England if it did not agree to the terms and conditions.
The BCCI replied on Monday saying that, though it wished the ECB all the best with its tournament, it was not in a position to accept the invitation.
Modi has also clearly informed the eight IPL franchises that they can participate only in tournaments run and approved by the BCCI. |
