The event was initially slated to take place in India from September 29 to October 8 but was moved to December due to its close proximity to the Champions Trophy, an event which was later postponed.
The rescheduled tournament was then called off following the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, leaving organisers with the problem of trying to find a window in an already crammed calendar. The tournament's governing council took the decision after considering the international fixture list and the domestic schedules of the participating teams.
"The inaugural edition of the Champions League Twenty20 will now be held in India in October 2009," said Champions League Twenty20 chairman Lalit Modi.
"The governing council, comprising the founder board members, took this collective decision after taking into account all aspects."
Middlesex were England's representatives, Nashua Titans and Nashua Dolphins were to take part from South Africa while Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings were India's participants.
Victoria Bushrangers and Western Australia Warriors were due to represent Australia, with Pakistan's Sialkot Stallions completing the eight-team line-up.
