ICC Delays World Club Championship After Big Three Object
The ICC has delayed its plans for a World Club Championship after objections from the ‘Big Three’ boards. The proposed tournament is on hold.
India, England and Australia pushed back on the plan, according to The Guardian. Their objections centre on scheduling and revenue sharing.
The World Club Championship was meant to bring champion T20 franchises together in a global event. The Big Three’s resistance has stalled the project.
The delay is the latest sign of the power the three boards hold in world cricket. ICC plans rarely move without their backing.
For now, franchise leagues will continue without a global club showdown. The ICC has not set a new date for the tournament.
Yahoo Sports reported India open the 2027 World Cup against Australia. The club championship delay leaves franchise cricket without a global crown for now.
AOL and Yahoo Sport Australia carried the Guardian’s report. The AFC has separately proposed a new Nations League from 2030.
