SOUTH AFRICANS will be exposed to yet another sporting spectacle after the FIFA World Cup 2010 in the coming September. One of the most awaited tournaments Airtel Champions League Twenty20 has the best ten teams battling it out for the top spot in league cricket. As of now, nine teams have already been selected and Trinidad and Tobago will battle it out for the final spot as they are already being touted as the favourites in the Caribbeans.
This year, Trinidad and Tobago will face Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Guyana, Windward Islands, Barbados and Combined Campuses and Colleges and an international team from Canada much with the support of their Caribbean fan following to secure a place at the T20 Champions League in South Africa. The teams facing the favourites will have to go through a Herculean task as team Trinidad and Tobago has already proved their mettle by clinching Stanford T20 to qualify for the Champions League in the last season.
Meanwhile, English all rounder and Lancastrian, Andrew Flintoff is set to make a comeback to Chennai Super Kings following their victory in the last season win in the IPL T20 Championship which was held in India.

Before Super Kings, Flintoff has prior commitments with county Lancashire for whom he will play in the coming two weeks. However, Kevin Pietersen and Eoin Morgan will not participate in the upcoming Airtel Champions League Twenty20 for Royal Challengers Bangalore, one of the participants, because of team England's commitments.
