On 14 May 2009, it was announced that 2008 IPL champion Rajasthan Royals and 2008 Twenty20 Cup champion Middlesex Panthers will play a charity match on 6 July 2009 under the name of the British Asian Cup, a portion of the earnings of which will go to the British Asian Trust.[1] The two teams would have played each other in the 2008 Champions League Twenty20, but the tournament was cancelled due to security reasons.[1] The then IPL chairman Lalit Modi said,"We have shown this year that the IPL truly has global appeal, and for one of our teams to be playing at the 'home of cricket [Lords]' in front of the wonderfully passionate British fans is very exciting." He also welcomed the association with the British Asian Trust.[1] Marlyebone Cricket Club (MCC) chief executive Keith Bradshaw said,"It is a great honour to be hosting the first year of this competition, and demonstrates the MCC commitment to globalising our brand and venue."[2] It was planned that the British Asian Cup will be an annual series played between the IPL and Twenty20 Cup winners, and will consist of three matches in future.[2]
