The ICC won't make a slot available in its schedule for the Champions League Twenty20 tournament.

Champions League organiser Lalit Modi had said the event, featuring domestic teams from seven nations, would be an annual fixture on the international schedule. But ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat contradicted those claims on Thursday.

No proposal for domestic events

"We don't keep windows in the ICC Future Tours Programme (FTP) for domestic events. There's no proposal for the Champions League or any other domestic events in the FTP," Lorgat said. "The FTP only features ICC events ... the ICC Cricket World Cup, the ICC Champions Trophy and the ICC World Twenty20, beside bilateral fixtures between international teams."

The Champions League, a 12-team tournament which will be held for the first time from October 8-23 in India, is jointly owned by the cricket boards of Australia, India and South Africa.

The teams come from West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, India, Australia, South Africa and England.

The first edition of the tournament was postponed last year in the wake of terror attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai.
