Last month India invited Pakistan’s domestic champions Sialkot Stallions to join the Champions League, in what was considered a breakthrough towards the resumption of sporting ties between the two countries.
It will be the second time South Africa has hosted the event, which has also been held twice in India. The tournament is a joint initiative between India, South Africa and Australia.
The announcement was made on the sidelines of the International Cricket Council’s annual conference, which is taking place this week in the Malaysian capital.
