NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India will stage the inaugural Twenty20 Champions League, postponed after last year's militant attacks in Mumbai, from Oct. 8-23, organisers said on Sunday.
In a statement the organisers said the field had been increased by four teams and would feature 12 sides, including the finalists in the second edition of the IPL.
The Hyderabad Deccan Chargers and Bangalore Royal Challengers, who qualified for Sunday's final, and Delhi Daredevils will be the three Indian teams.
Two teams each from Australia, England and South Africa as well as the domestic Twenty20 champions from New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka will also feature.
