Glamorgan will enter the quarter-final without an overseas star

Glamorgan will not select Jason Gillespie for Tuesday's Twenty20 Cup quarter-final clash against Durham due to fears of a Champions League ban.

The county are not willing to risk the ex-Australia seamer because of his Indian Cricket League connections.

If Glamorgan qualify for the Champions League in Dubai they could be banned as ICL players are outlawed.

Herschelle Gibbs was de-registered after the group games, so Glamorgan are set to be without an overseas star.

Glamorgan would qualify for the Champions League if they beat Durham and then overcome Middlesex in the semi-final at the Rose Bowl at the finals day on 26 July.

"If we beat Durham then we are at the finals day and only just one game away from the Champions League," said Glamorgan captain David Hemp.

"We just don't want to face the possibility of facing expulsion from such a high profile event if we are knowingly including an ineligible player.''

The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed on Wednesday that the Chester-le-Street clash with Durham would be held on 22 July.
