The chairman of the IPL Lalit Modi has not taken the letter from ICC indicating that the schedule of Champions League is against the ICC rules. According to ICC, no international event should be conducted 7 before and after an ICC event.
ICC has scheduled the Champions Trophy between September 11 and 28. The Champions League starts on 29th.
As far as the venue of the event is concerned, Modi said, "we had initially announced that Delhi, Mohali and Jaipur would host the matches of the Champions League. But we have received various offers. We would like it to be in India in the first year and then ideally rotate it among the founder members. We are quite open (on the issue of venues). It can be in one geographical area too depending on the available infrastructure."
This indicates that the venue can be outside India for the inagural event.
The eight teams are: Two from IPL, Two from Australia, Two from South Africa, One each from Pakistan and England.
