Champions League T20 website rights bagged by Global Cricket Venture

By Rajiv Dingra • October 31, 2008

Lalit Modi (the man behind IPL T20) recently announced the launch of the Champions League T20 which brings the best T20 teams across the world together in one tournament. The tournament will be kicked off on the 3rd of December and will go on till the 10th.

The rights to the Champions League T20 site has been won by Global Cricket Ventures which is a joint venture between Live Current Media and NetlinkBlue. According to this agreement, Global Cricket Ventures will build, manage and monetise the official website of the Champions League Twenty20 for a period of 10 years.

Even earlier Global Cricket Ventures had won the rights to manage and monetise the BCCI.tv website which launched recently and also the IPLT20 website which was phenomenally popular during the IPLT20 series.

The big problem for Global cricket ventures would be which domain name would the site be hosted on as domain squatters seems to have books all the possible domain combinations for champions league T20.

For example championsT20.com, Championsleaguetwenty20.com and even clT20.com which is very much like their iplt20.com are already booked by domainers who plan to make money with these domains or are hoping that Global Cricket Ventures buys them. There is no news from global cricket ventures as to which domain would the champions T20 site be launched.

Great. Good to know that the Global Cricket Ventures has the domain problem. I own the championsleaguet20.com domain and am working with partners to build a media property and monetize the domain.
