history

After the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League in 2008 was a great success, planning began for a Champions League of the best Twenty20 club teams in the world for the same year. However, due to the attacks in Mumbai shortly before, the planned date in December 2008 could not be kept, so the tournament was canceled without replacement. Then the following year the first season was held in India . The best teams from the leagues in Australia , England , India, New Zealand , South Africa , Sri Lanka and the West Indies were allowed to take part . The New South Wales Blues from Australia prevailed, beating Trinidad and Tobago , the representative of the West Indies , in the final . In 2010 the tournament took place in South Africa and was won by the Chennai Super Kings from India. Pakistan and England were the only top nations that did not send teams. In 2011 a qualifying round was introduced for the first time, in which some teams first had to qualify for the final round. In a purely Indian final in Chennai , the Mumbai Indians then prevailed against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. In 2012 the tournament took place in South Africa again. A team from Pakistan took part in this for the first time. After the sixth Champions League Twenty20 was held in 2014, no further tournament was held.
