The Wheel is Forever
Cricinfo - Champions League expanded from eight to 12 teams
Sad to see the team for Pakistan will not be playing.

This.Yeah sucks that Pakistan won't be playing because their government won't let them go, but the fact that more teams from more nations are involved is great news.
Interesting that Delhi are allowed in for ending up at the top of the points table now, but from next year onwards it will be a play-off between the two losing semi-finalists for the 3rd IPL spot.
I think its better to just give it to the top team. If the top team happens to lose their semi, qualification for the Champions League is a worthy reward for being consistent throughout the league stages.
yeah, if the topper does go through to the final, it can go to the 2nd in the table or 3rd in the table. That way, the league standings do become important.Yeah sucks that Pakistan won't be playing because their government won't let them go, but the fact that more teams from more nations are involved is great news.

Yeah. Will be surprised if it takes place.There's no confirmation of two IPLs anywhere. Just hints from Modi.
I seriously doubt that it will happen in the near future.
Woops, I was wrong, seems I mis-read. Haha.So, do IPL players play for their franchise or their domestic side?
Doesn't matter in Otago's case anyway.
Things need to cool down more before Pakistan can get involved especially if the tournament is in India also sad to see no BD team getting involved.Yeah sucks that Pakistan won't be playing because their government won't let them go, but the fact that more teams from more nations are involved is great news.

They use it in handball and volleyball.and what about the name Champions League have UEFA allowed to use the name
was reffering to reports like thisThey use it in handball and volleyball.
Interesting. As said, they haven't had problems with the mentioned sports. (Though they are admittedly smaller on the world stage, they're considerably larger than cricket in UEFA countries.)
Pretty sure the rules are IPL sides first (or atleast have first right to pay local domestic side), then domestic side and then any other overseas side they play for. Anyway we got Jaques to replace Warner, atleast he can score runs in more then one game in every 10, like the other two.I don't know anything about this champions league thing but are you saying that if NSW want McCullum he has to play for them, he can't choose Otago. That has to be the biggest joke ever. The winning team gets what, 12 millon dollars. NSW better be prepared to fork out atleast 4-5 million I would say.
