England arrogant for not making CLT20 deal

Not playing in the Champions League this year will be a hammer blow for county cricketers, writes Michael Vaughan in the Daily Telegraph. It's time the ECB stops continually fighting with the BCCI and to start building relationships, he believes, and they must realise they are never going to beat them.

I hate the fact that in this country we are arrogant and stubborn. We say "we are not letting India rule the world". Yet everyone else manages to build a relationship with India and makes a nice living off the back of it. Just like every other country, we should be making money from the Champions League. It is here to stay. It has a 10-year television deal worth $1 billion (£637 million) and is not going to disappear. We should embrace it.
