to relaunch Sharjah as an international venue with a Twenty20 club championships
early next year. Media reports indicate
that the Twenty20 competition, involving top teams like Australia and India will
take place before the World Cup next year. CBFS had not been able to hold matches
for the last three years due to a hectic international calendar and problems with
dates while inviting teams to participate. Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England
and South Africa all hold annual domestic Twenty20 Cup tournaments. The West Indies
recently completed its inaugural competition. As yet, India does not have a Twenty20
event but there are plans in this arena. |
