ECB threaten to ban county from CL T20 except paid up front

ECB

The England Wales Cricket has in danger to stop its county teams from challenging in this year's Champions League Twenty20 in India unless the organizers of the event, the BCCI pay them the participation fees in go forward, according to a report.

The ECB insist that the two counties -- one out of Lancashire and Leicestershire, and one out of Hampshire and Somerset -- will have to take delivery of the money to cover their costs from the BCCI before travelling to India for the tournament in September, a report in the Daily Telegraph stated.

The ECB's statement came after many of the participate teams in the first two CLT20 tournament have supposed that they have either not established their payment on time or in full.

Somerset and Sussex played in the opening CLT20 in India in 2009, but not a single team from England played in the next tournament, in South Africa in 2010, after an argument between the ECB and the Indian organizers over scheduling.

"The payment was late but was paid ultimately, within about five months, and it was paid in full less about 20 per cent Indian government tax," said Richard Gould, who was Somerset's chief decision-making when they participate in CLT20 in 2009 and is now Surrey's.

The CLT20 is at present chosen a window in ICC's Future Tours Programmed, unlike the Indian Premier League which is regard as a domestic competition.

The third edition of the event kicks off in Hyderabad on September 19 with the qualification matches.
