However, English involvement in India's Champions League, to be held in Jaipur, Mohali and Delhi from September 29 to October 8 has not yet been ruled out.
Officials from the Australian and South African cricket boards are scheduled to meet their Indian counterparts in Bombay tomorrow to discuss the league, which was to feature the top two teams from the Indian, English, Australian and South African domestic Twenty20 competitions. Collier said that the ECB had not ruled out attending the meeting.
The ECB announced last week that it secured a £750 million 10-year deal for its rival Twenty20 Champions League, which will accommodate both the English finalists. The finalists of the English tournament had originally been lined up to take part in the proposed Twenty20 Champions League this autumn, organised by the Indian board.
The ECB's event, backed by Middle Eastern investors, is scheduled to take place in Dubai or Sharjah in October and would guarantee a slot for both English finalists as well as teams from every senior Test-playing country. India would not be able to send any team over because of their Test series against Australia this year, but would be expected to take part in 2009.
