History
Euro T20 Slam
In March 2019, Cricket Scotland, Cricket Ireland and the Royal Dutch Cricket Association officially announced a sanctioned cross-border European Twenty20 professional franchise tournament, the Euro T20 Slam, [4] originally for six teams and for which an initial player draft was held. The organiser, which was also responsible for the Canadian Global T20 tournament, announced a number of postponements in the following years, but a combination of organisational issues and the COVID-19 pandemic effectively rendered the tournament abandoned without holding one season.
European T20 Premier League
In January 2025 it was confirmed that a broadly similar venture, [5] again with the same three boards and privately funded, but organised by a committee to be put together by the three national boards themselves, and with six initial teams, had received International Cricket Council sanction to begin play in July 2025, effectively replacing the defunct Euro T20 Slam branding with a new European T20 Premier League. [6] [7] [5] Scheduled for July and early August 2025, the event avoids most of the southern hemisphere and Caribbean franchise tournaments, including the Indian Premier League. Bollywood entertainer Abhishek Bachchan was announced as part owner of the league at the same time as its sanctioning. [8] The tournament has been postponed again to 2026. [1]
