India and England were Tuesday embroiled in an acrimonious tug-of-war over the inaugural'hventy20 Champions League, with both wanting to host it with or without each other.
The lucrative football-style League, featuring top Twenty20 domestic sides from around the world, is scheduled to be played between September 29 and October 8.
India insists it will host the tournament while England, which opposes the terms and conditions laid down by the Indians, wants to stage its own version in the United Arab Emirates on die same dates.
Utter chaos prevailed in cricket circles on Tuesday as both sides claimed that teams from Australia and South Africa will take part in their respective tournaments.
India, buoyed by the success of the Indian Premier League earlier this year, said it will finalise details of its tournament at a meeting in Mumbai on Wednesday with
Australian and South African chiefs.
The northern cities of New Delhi, Mohall and Jaipur have already been announced as die possible venues in the 10-million-dollar event, with half that amount going tothe winners.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said the Abu Dhabi royal family had agreed to bankroll their tournament to be held in the UAE capital and the adjoining emirateof Sharjah.
“At the moment we are progressing with our plans and we have no plans to travel to Mumbai and attend Wednesday's meeting," an ECB spokesman said in London on Monday.
Who plays where is undecided, although the original plans had the top two TWenty20 teams from Australia, England, South Africa and India taking part.
I^cal media reports on Tuesday said India had turned down England's offer to send two teams for their event in the Gulf - and also does not expect English sides to feature in their own tournament.
In a letter to the ECB, the Indian board wrote it "wished the ECB all
the best" with its tournament but "unfortunately, we cannot accept’ the invitation, reports said.
Talks between the Indian board and the ECB failed to resolve the issuesof tournament rights and the availability of players who took part in the unauthorised Indian Cricket league (1CL).
India, the sport's financial powerhouse, wanted to retain a 50 per cent stake in the tournament and would not allow teams that fielded ICL players from taking part.
Kent, one of the two teams set to represent England in the Champions League, has two ICL players in Pakistan's Azhar Mahmood and Justin Kemp of South Africa.
Indian official Lalit Modi had said last week the Cham pions League was being put off to a later date, but appeared to change his mind after being told England were going ahead with their own tournament.
The tournament is sandwiched in the short 11-day gap between the Champions Trophy final in Pakistan on September 28 and the first Test between Australia and India in Bangalore from October 9.
