European Twenty20 Championship
- European Twenty20 Championship
The European Twenty20 Championship is a cricket tournament scheduled to played for the first time in July 2007 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It will be the first international Twenty20 tournament ahead of the inaugural Twenty20 World Championship later in the same year.
The event will take place from 20 July to 22 July 2007 and the participating teams will be Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands and Scotland. If the tournament is a success, there are plans to hold it every two years in the future.
The inaugural tournament, scheduled for July 2007, was actually cancelled just 2 months before the staging of the event. The cancellation was a result of the ODI series between the Netherlands, Ireland and the West Indies, due to take place immediately before the European Twenty20 Championship, being extended to include Scotland. As a result of most of the participating players being amateurs and needing to request leave from their respective professions it was decided to cancel the tournament.
