The European Twenty20 Championship is a cricket tournament played for the first time in July 2007 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The cancellation was a result of the ODI series between the Netherlands, Ireland and the West Indies, due to take place immediately before the European Twenty20 Championship, being extended to include Scotland.
As a result of most of the participating players being amateurs and needing to request leave from their respective professions it was decided to cancel the tournament.
An innovative European Twenty20 tournament[1] was staged at Carmel & District Cricket Club in July 2008.
[citation needed] The tournament was won by Estonia who defeated the Czech Republic in the final.
