Unka maanana hai ki yeh cricket ke evolution ke liye “next logical step” hai. Yeh baat unhone recently share ki, aur isse cricket fans mein excitement badh gayi hai.
CLT20 Kya Tha?
Champions League T20 ek aisa tournament tha jo 2008 se 2014 tak chala, jisme duniya bhar ke top T20 club teams ek saath khelti thi. Isme Indian Premier League (IPL), Big Bash League (BBL), aur dusre countries ke champions shamil hote the. Lekin 2014 ke baad yeh band ho gaya, kyunki iske scheduling aur financial issues the. Ab isko wapas laane ki baat ho rahi hai, jo cricket ke liye ek bada kadam ho sakta hai.
Revival ke Peeche Ka Plan
Gould ke mutabik, cricket ab ek global sport ban raha hai, aur T20 format iski popularity ka bada hissa hai. Ek World Club Championship jaisa event duniya bhar ke T20 leagues ke beech competition ko aur exciting bana sakta hai. X par posts ke according, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Cricket Australia (CA), aur ECB iske revival ke liye talks kar rahe hain.
IPL chairman Arun Dhumal ne April 2025 mein kaha tha ki T20 leagues ke growth ke saath, CLT20 jaisa tournament wapas laane ka perfect time hai. Iske alawa, Cricket Victoria ke CEO Nick Cummins ne bhi yeh confirm kiya ki BCCI, ECB, aur CA is idea ke liye kaafi interested hain.
Kya Naya Ho Sakta Hai?
X posts ke mutabik, is baar CLT20 mein kuch naya dekhne ko mil sakta hai. Ek idea yeh hai ki men’s tournament ke saath women’s tournament bhi shuru kiya jaye, jisme Women’s Premier League (WPL), The Hundred, aur Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) ke champions khel sakte hain. Yeh women’s cricket ko bhi global stage par promote karega.
Iske alawa, tournament ka format bhi modern ho sakta hai, jisme zyada teams aur countries shamil ho. Yeh event IPL, Pakistan Super League (PSL), aur dusre T20 leagues ke stars ko ek saath ek platform par la sakta hai, jo fans ke liye ek bada treat hoga.
Challenges Kya Hain?
Lekin yeh revival itna asaan nahi hai. Pehle CLT20 ke band hone ka ek bada reason tha scheduling conflicts. Players ke liye already IPL, BBL, PSL jaise leagues aur international cricket ke matches ka schedule kaafi tight hai. Iske alawa, financial model bhi ek issue hai, kyunki har board apne players aur leagues ke liye best deal chahta hai.
FIFA Club World Cup 2025 ke baare mein recent news se pata chalta hai ki global club tournaments mein scheduling aur player fatigue ek badi problem hai. CLT20 ke revival ke liye bhi in challenges ko solve karna hoga, taaki players aur fans dono ke liye yeh sustainable ho.
Fans ka Excitement
X par fans is news par kaafi excited dikh rahe hain. Posts mein yeh baat saamne aayi ki log IPL ke stars jaise Virat Kohli ya PSL ke players jaise Babar Azam ko ek saath khelte dekhna chahte hain. Yeh tournament cricket ko aur bada global audience de sakta hai, khaas taur par jab T20 cricket ki popularity itni tezi se badh rahi hai.
Kab Tak Hoga Yeh?
Abhi tak koi official announcement nahi hua hai. Lekin ECB, BCCI, aur CA ke talks se lagta hai ki yeh idea serious hai. Richard Gould ke statement aur X posts ke hisaab se, agle kuch saalon mein yeh tournament shuru ho sakta hai, lekin exact dates aur format abhi final nahi hua.
CLT20 ka revival cricket ke liye ek game-changer ho sakta hai. Yeh na sirf fans ke liye exciting hoga, balki T20 cricket ko aur global banane mein madad karega. Women’s tournament ke idea aur duniya bhar ke top players ke saath, yeh event cricket ka future badal sakta hai. Ab dekhna yeh hai ki yeh plan kab aur kaise reality banega.
