The eight players selected by more than one team competing in the 2014 Champions League T20 have chosen to represent their IPL franchise and not their national domestic team.
Corey Anderson, Kieron Pollard and Lasith Malinga picked Mumbai Indians over Northern Knights, Barbados Tridents and Southern Express respectively; George Bailey and David Miller chose Kings XI Punjab over Hobart Hurricanes and Dolphins; Pat Cummins and Jacques Kallis will play for Kolkata Knight Riders and not Perth Scorchers and Cape Cobras; and Dwayne Smith will turn out for Chennai Super Kings and not Barbados Tridents.
"Like previous seasons, players who have been named by more than one team have been asked to nominate which side they are going to represent," CLT20 governing council member Dean Kino said. "Players are free to make any decision they wish. Teams are then allowed to replace any player that has withdrawn from their squad and elected to play for another side.
"CLT20 regulations state that when a player elects to play for their 'away' team, that team must pay the 'home' team $150,000 compensation per player. A 'home' team is classified as a team from the country a player is eligible to represent in international cricket."
The qualifying stage for the tournament will be held from September 13 to 16, while the main leg will be between September 17 and October 4, in Raipur, Mohali, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
