The Indian Premier League (IPL) governing council is set to discuss an alternative to the Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) in a meeting, likely to be held in Delhi, on July 8, according to a report in ESPNcricinfo.
CLT20 has still not officially been put to rest but the BCCI, Cricket Australia and the England and Wales Cricket Board, who govern the CLT20, have signed an exit clause with the broadcaster of the tournament. A BCCI insider told ESPNCricinfo that "it is a given that CLT20 is history and it's time to look ahead".

If it is actually scrapped, the BCCI is understood to have a plan in place to fill the three-week window with a mini-version of the IPL, with its inaugural season to be played as early as this September in the UAE.
