Indian Premier League chairman Rajiv Shukla has told a private television channel that Pakistan’s Sialkot Stallions will compete in this year’s Champions League. Shukla told Geo Television that the “decision will be stamped” in the Champions League’s governing board meeting later on Monday in which Australia and South Africa will also participate. This year’s Champions League will be held in India and it will be first time that Pakistan’s domestic Twenty20 champions will be invited to the tournament. The Champions League began in 2009 and last year Mumbai Indians won the tournament.
