After the BCCI8217;s multi-million dollar Twenty20 championship stole the thunder from the Indian Cricket League, 8216;teething problems8217; have forced the rebel series to be postponed until mid-November.

ICL Executive Board chairman Kapil Dev said the tournament, originally scheduled for October, has been moved to November as cricketers would be free from international duty by that time.

8220;We all sat together and felt mid-November is the right date, because at that time international cricketers should also be free to play,8221; Kapil told CNN-IBN in an interview.

8220;I can give you specifically 8212; November 17 is the target date but still let us wait till it is officially announced,8221; he added.

The former skipper admitted that there were 8216;teething problems8217; but denied that money had anything to do with the postponement.

8220;I think if there was no money they would not have started. I think business people know and I hope they have a deep pocket and I hope they are ready to spend and they are spending the way we are expecting,8221; he said.

8220;8230;we have already made most of the chart, which we will come out with in a very short time. The chart will have details about where the tournament will be played. The camp is already in progress in Chennai and all the 50 young guys are attending the camp,8221; he added.
