Piyush Chawla’s Rare Feat: Representing Sussex in the Champions League T20

By Charanpal Singh Sobti June 10, 2025 • 22:14 PM View: 13779

Cricket Tales (Piyush Chawla: When He Played For a Foreign Team in the Champions League T20): Question: Who are the only two Indian cricketers to have represented a non-Indian side in the now-defunct Champions League T20?

This is a rather unusual record, given that the BCCI has a long-standing policy prohibiting Indian cricketers—whether centrally contracted or playing in the IPL—from participating in white-ball cricket for any foreign team. Yet, this exception occurred, and among the two cricketers who hold this rare distinction, one has recently retired.
