The Sialkot Stallions are training hard and hope to win big in the Champions League Twenty20 in India!

The Sialkot Stallions can consider themselves lucky to be included in the first edition of the Champions League Twenty20. The tournament was earlier slated to include the Top 2 teams from India, Australia, South Africa and England. But since the Runners-up in the English Domestic Twenty20 tournament - KENT - fielded players from the banned rebel league ICL, Kent themselves were barred from participating in the tournament.

This resulted in the champions of Pakistan - Sialkot Stallions - replacing them in this years edition of the the Champions League.

In this video you can see how the Sialkot Stallions won the Domestic Twenty20 Championship in Pakistan:

They might be the dark horses of the tournament, but Pakistan’s domestic Champions the Sialkot Stallions are a team riding a wave of confidence! Having won 16 games in a trot, they are going to be the surprise package of this tournament!

Winning is not everything, it is the ONLY thing is the mantra which the Champions of Pakistan - Sialkot Stallions follow. They have won the domestic Twenty20 Championship in Pakistan for 3 years in a row.

In this video, Shoaib Malik talks about Success in CLT20:

Unity, Leadership and Game plan - is the mantra to success!

The Sialkot Stallions have won the Pakistan’s domestic RBS Twenty20 Cup for the last 3 years. Sialkot Stallions are World No. 2 ranked Twenty20 team according the ICC cricket rankings. The only thing which will be affecting them is that a lot of their players (like Imran Nazir, Naved-ul-Hasan etc) have now shifted to the rebel Indian Cricket League.
