The proposed event could revive the concept of the Champions League T20 (CLT20), which was discontinued after the 2014 edition.

A brand-new global T20 tournament featuring the world's best cricket franchises is reportedly in the works. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is mulling a World Club T20 Championship, a global franchise cricket tournament that could bring together top teams from leading T20 leagues around the world. The proposed event could revive the concept of the Champions League T20 (CLT20), which was discontinued after the 2014 edition.

According to a BBC report, this proposed "World Club T20" could launch within the next couple of years only if cricket administrators can find a free window in an already packed international calendar. A global meeting of franchise executives is expected to take place later this year to map out the next steps.

Think of it as cricket's version of FIFA's Club World Cup. For fans, this opens up a mouth-watering possibility of IPL powerhouses like the Chennai Super Kings or Mumbai Indians finally facing off against top teams from the Big Bash League (BBL), SA20 and The Hundred.

Is the World Club T20 Officially Confirmed?
