offstump, it's like habib says, it's difficult to find one window that suits all. for example this year county teams couldn't participate because ECB refused to re-schedule county matches by a few days to match the window that suited everybody else. the county teams themselves were quite eager to play in CLT20. still, it's early days and I think CLT20 will have its own window in the future.
FIFA is strongly skewed in favour of club teams, except the WC and tournaments like euro and copa, it's club football that matters. I don't think that is going to happen in cricket, where international football is the primary form. club cricket will rise in importance but I don't think it will ever surpass international cricket.
