The England and Wales Cricket Board are hopefully trying to reach a settlement on this issue. It is being reported by BBC that the spokesman for the Champions League said that it has not been yet confirmed which two teams will play the tournament.
However these two would be from England, Pakistan or New Zealand.
England is also planning to organize the rival Champions League tournament in Abu Dhabi as a result of this row between England and BCCI. However, South Africa and Australia are back supporting India in this matter.
On the other hand, ICC is silent and hasn’t passed any comments on these latest developments going on.
