Tournament Director Naasei Appiah insisted that no financial irregularities would happen this time.
Cricket South Africa is still grappling with the scandal for which its former CEO Gerald Majola is currently facing a disciplinary hearing for paying himself and other top staff huge bonuses after IPL 2 and the Champions League hosted in South Africa a few years ago.
"The Champions League is a venture between the cricket boards of South Africa, India and Australia, so we don't receive bonuses for events that are part of our normal operations," Appiah said.
CLT20 CEO Sundar Raman said although South Africa was chosen for a second time, other countries could also host the Champions League.
"I think we need to be very certain about the ability to host a tournament with sufficient logistical support as well as the ability to host sufficient crowds turning up.
"South Africa has hosted some of the biggest sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup in 2012 and there is no reason to believe that there is any other reason except that there is a sport-loving public and the infrastructure is there," Raman said. MORE
