The 2010 Champions League Twenty20 was the second edition of the Champions League Twenty20, an international Twenty20 cricket tournament. The tournament, which was held from 10 to 26 September 2010 in South Africa, featured ten teams from Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies.[1][2] Chennai Super Kings won the tournament, defeating the Warriors in the final.

Host selection

In February 2010, Cricket South Africa announced that the country had been chosen to host the tournament, although this was later denied by tournament chairman Lalit Modi, who listed a range of possibilities as hosts.[3] At the conclusion of the 2010 Indian Premier League in April, South Africa was confirmed as the venue for the tournament. The country had previously hosted the 2009 Indian Premier League.[4]

Format

The tournament consisted of 23 matches, divided into a group stage and a knockout stage. In the group stage, teams were divided into two groups of five teams, with each team playing each other team in its group once. The top two teams from each group advanced to the semi-finals.[5]

Prize money

Unchanged from the previous edition, the total prize money for the competition was US$6 million. In addition to the prize money, each team received a participation fee of $500,000.[6]

Following the conclusion of the tournament, some teams reported that they had not received their prize money, which was due to be paid by the end of January 2011.[7][8][9]

Teams

The tournament was reduced in size from 12 to ten teams as the tournament dates clashed with the end of the English domestic seasoning teams from the England and Wales Cricket Board were unable to take part.[10]

Pakistani teams did not take part in the tournament, as in 2009. Ijaz Butt, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, had reportedly refused an invitation for a Pakistani team to take part due to no Pakistani cricketers being purchased during the 2010 Indian Premier League player auction.[11] Butt later stated his comments were misunderstood, but tournament administrators had already made the decision to omit a Pakistani team.[12]

Squads

Main article: 2010 Champions League Twenty20 squads

Several teams were missing star players that helped them qualify for the tournament, mostly due to their commitment to another qualified team or to their national team.[16] In the case of a player being a part of more than one qualified team, he can play for his "home" team (the team from the country he is eligible to represent in international cricket) without consequence. If he plays for any other team, that team must pay the home team US$200,000 as compensation.[5] The Royal Challengers Bangalore were the only team to pay the compensation, forcing three international players to play for them instead of their home team.[17] Jacques Kallis, Cameron White and Ross Taylor were obligated to play for Bangalore as their contracts stated Bangalore had first rights over them should they qualify for the tournament with another team.[18]

Venues

Matches were played at four venues in South Africa. Both Warriors and Highveld Lions played some of their group stage matches at their home grounds, St George's Park and Wanderers Stadium, and the semi-finals were held at Kingsmead Cricket Ground and Supersport Park. The final was held at Wanderers.[19]
