The Sydney Morning Herald sheds light on cricket's proposed "Champions League". It claims that leading Australian cricketers could soon be earning wages comparable to that of the world's top footballers.
- Australia, India, England and South Africa each hold their own domestic competitions. India's domestic competition will feature franchised teams.
- The top two teams from each country qualify for an international tournament, which will feature a $US5 million prize pool.
- The first international tournament is expected to take place late next year.
