Group B

The action is group B looks to be quite competitive with South Africa's Dolphins, the Western Australian Warriors and Pakistan's Sialkot Stallions facing off against IPL Champions Rajasthan Royals.

Odds On the Way

The bookmakers will be releasing odds on this competition in the next few days, but with a number of international teams requiring players for test cricket, punters are advised to check their teams line-ups before committing any cash towards a result. For instance, Middlesex shorn of Andrew Strauss don't look quite as intimidating. Several top Indian players will also be knee-deep in a test and ODI series against England.

Either way, the winner this winter looks to be cricket fans as a whole. England and India will be contesting an ODI and test series while the world's best face off simultaneously in the upstart twenty20 format.
