T20's fate to be decided on Dec 8

MELBOURNE: Organisers of postponed Cricket Champions Twenty20 League will meet on December 8 to see if they can reschedule the tournament early next year, according to spokesman of $6 million tournament.
The eight-team tournament was earlier scheduled to be held in India from December 3-10 but had to be postponed after terror struck Mumbai, one of three venues.
The meeting of BCCI, Cricket Australia & Cricket South Africa - three founding boards of Champions League - is likely to take place in India to ‘explore any opportunities’ to hold inaugural tournament in 2008-09 season, League spokesman Philip Pope said.
The biggest problem facing tournament organisers will be finding a gap in busy international schedule in 2008-09 season.
‘This window was created in next week-and-a-half, so in order to establish a new competition elsewhere, (it's) very problematic, with broadcasting, venues, that sort of thing,’ said Tony Dodemaide, chief executive Cricket Victoria, whose team Victoria Bushrangers will take part in tournament.
‘Many of venues are booked up now with current competitions going on around the world, so it's very difficult to do and in that light this was obvious decision,’ he was quoted as saying by Australian Associated Press.
Victorian coach Greg Shipperd suggested Australia could host tournament. But, Graeme Wood, WACA chief executive, whose team Western Australia Warriors is taking part in tournament, thinks League will go ahead early next year either in India, Gulf states, England or South Africa.
