ICC moves to counter threat presented by T20 Leagues

CAPE TOWN - Twenty20 cricket is the way of the future, that is much certain after the International Cricket Council concluded their board meeting in Kolkata on Thursday.

The ICC Champions Trophy is under the most threat to head towards a path of extinction after the Board approved replacing the 2021 Champions Trophy, scheduled to be held in India, with a World T20. This will follow immediately after the ICC World T20 2020 in Australia the previous year, resulting in back-to-back World T20 competitions.
