Champions League Twenty20 2013 Teams list
The ten teams are now divided into two groups of five sides apiece, with every team in the group playing the others once. Top two teams from each group will make it to the semi-finals which will be followed by the final.
England teams have indefinitely refused participation in the tournament starting with this edition due to its dates clashing with the end of the County Championship. England teams had previously missed the 2010 edition due to similar scheduling problems.
In group A, there will be two teams from the IPL, the first ranked team (Mumbai Indians) and the third ranked team (Rajastan Royals), South Africa’s Highveld Lions, Australia’s Perth Scorchers and the first qualifier.
Group B will have one IPL team (Chennai Super Kings), the second placed side in 2013, Titans from South Africa, Brisbane Heat of Australia, Trinidad & Tobago from the West Indies and a second qualifier.
The fourth ranked team (Sunrisers Hyderabad) in the IPL will be joined by the Otago Volts, Faisalabad Wolves and the winner of the Sri Lanka Premier League in the qualifiers.
