South Africa will host the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 from 10th to 26th September, the organising committee has confirmed.
"The Governing Council has accepted Cricket South Africa's offer to host the tournament, with the venues and competing teams for the second edition of the world's premier domestic Twenty20 competition to be finalised inthe coming weeks," a statement read.
South Africa hosted the second edition of the Indian Premier League when it could not be hosted in India in 2009 and have also recently held the ICC Cricket World Cup (2003), the ICC World Twenty20 (2007) and the ICC Champions Trophy (2009) as well as gearing up to host football's World Cup later this year.
Lalit Modi, tournament chairman, added:
"South Africa is considered an ideal CLT20 host after successfully staging the Indian Premier League and ICC World Twenty20 tournaments in recent years, as well as the strong support shown for its domestic Pro20 Series competition."
