NEW DELHI — The inaugural Champions League Twenty20 cricket tournament, featuring provincial champions from five countries, has been postponed in the wake of terror attacks in Mumbai that have killed at least 100 people.
"We held consultations among all the stakeholders ... (and) it was agreed that in the best interests of all concerned, the inaugural edition of the Champions League Twenty20 should be postponed," tournament chairman Lalit Modi said Thursday. "We very strongly condemn this dastardly and heinous criminal act of a few which has resulted in the loss of precious lives and injury to hundreds. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and we are with them in their hour of grief," Modi said.
It follows the postponement of England's limited-overs tour of India.
