Organisers of the Twenty20 Champions League say qualifying teams from England will not be able to field players who featured in the rebel ICL.
The top two teams in domestic Twenty20 in India, England, Australia and South Africa will qualify for the multi-million pound event in India.
But English teams will be barred unless they agree not to play cricketers who featured in the Indian Cricket League.
Counties have so far fielded ICL players in the Twenty20 Cup.
And only three of the 18 - Essex, Middlesex and Somerset - do not have players who have signed ICL contracts.
The finalists of the Twenty20 Cup in England in August qualify for the lucrative Champions League - which will take place over eight days at the start of October.
Board of Control for Cricket in India vice-president Lalit Modi said: "India will not host or participate in any event featuring players from the ICL."
