Other 3 teams in CLT20 Highveld Lions South Africa Captain: Coach: Geoffrey Toyana CLT20 Best: 2012 Runner-up Highveld Lions come in to CLT20 for the third time. They participated in the tournament in 2010, in South Africa. The Lions also qualified for the group stage of CLT20 2012 since they were runners-up in the MiWay T20 Challenge 2011-12. At CLT20 2010, they made quite an impact when they beat the much fancied Mumbai Indians in the first game of the tournament, but then lost steam. However, when the tournament returned to their country, the South African outfit went all the way to the final, before losing to the Sydney Sixers. They will hope to get lucky in their third attempt when they suit up for CLT20 2013. They will be high on confidence too, having won the Ram Slam T20 Challenge 2012-13 – South Africa’s domestic T20 competition. Perth Scorchers Australia Captain: Coach: Lachlan Stevens CLT20 Best: 2012 Group Stage The team from Perth, Australia, made their Champions League Twenty20 debut in 2012 but couldn’t get past the League stage. However, bolstered by the experience of world-class campaigners like Michael Hussey, Simon Katich and Brad Hogg, the Scorchers put up a fine show in the 2012-13 KFC Big Bash League, and finished the runners-up for second straight year, losing to Brisbane Heat in the final. Having booked themselves a place in the CLT20 yet again, the Perth Scorchers will look to utilize their experience and knowledge of the tournament in the previous year to make their mark this season. Titans South Africa Captain: Coach: Rob Walter CLT20 Best: 2012 Semi-finalist A triumph in the domestic MiWAY T20 Challenge 2011-12 earned the Nashua Titans a place in CLT20 2012. Captained by Martin van Jaarsveld, the Titans were propelled to the title by inspirational performances by the likes of Farhaan Behardien (333 runs) and Roelof van der Merwe (15 wickets). The 2012 season saw the Titans compete in CLT20 for the first time. With home advantage on their side, the South African outfit benefitted from the experience of Alfonso Thomas and made the semi-finals. Runners-up of the Ram Slam T20 Challenge 2012-13, the Titans will now come to India to test their skills in CLT20 2013. #vshnu
