Squads

Main article: 2011 Champions League Twenty20 squads

Eight players were originally nominated for two squads and were allowed to decide which team they would play for, in each case choosing their Indian Premier League team. The tournament rules state each team may field only four overseas players, but an exception was made for Mumbai Indians who were allowed to field five as many of their Indian players were unable to play due to injury. Without this the team would have been unable to field a team.

Venues

The tournament was hosted at three venues across India. The qualifying stage was held at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, with final stage matches held at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore and the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad.
