In Australia, the Big Bash League continued to be a success and led to more public interest in cricket, especially amongst families. The Caribbean Premier League was created and had its first season in August 2013. Billed as the "ultimate cricket carnival", its major attraction was its unique party atmosphere and it was an immediate success with high attendance for all matches. Another attraction was the involvement of legends of West Indies cricket in coaching roles and Hollywood stars taking equity interests in the teams.

2013 Champions League Twenty20, Qualification
England teams have indefinitely refused participation in the tournament starting with this edition due to its dates clashing with the end of the County Championship. England teams had previously missed the 2010 edition due to similar scheduling problems. Contrary to the previous two seasons, Trinidad and Tobago received direct qualification on account of their good past performances. They were also chosen ahead of the winners of the newly created Caribbean Premier League. This edition was the second to feature a team from Pakistan and the first for editions held in India. The strained ties between the Indo-Pak governments and establishments had been the primary reason for Pakistan's exclusion before 2012. The winners of the Sri Lanka Premier League were originally scheduled to participate in the qualifying stage before the tournament was cancelled.


2013 Champions League Twenty20, Teams
Due to the tournament format restricting player contracts from the 2011–12 (first) season to only be for that season, all teams of the Big Bash League underwent many changes to their squads. New contracts, however, could be multi-year agreements. The Sydney Sixers, winners of the 2012 edition, failed to qualify. Pakistan sent a team.


2013 Champions League Twenty20, Squads
This edition saw the first instance of a player choosing his home team over his IPL team after qualifying with both. Of the 12 players named in the preliminary squads of more than one team, Kumar Sangakkara chose to play for the Kandurata Maroons instead of the Sunrisers Hyderabad from the IPL. In doing so, Sangakkara, per his contract, forfeited 20% of his IPL salary ($140,000). Sri Lanka Cricket would not receive the $150,000 compensation they would have otherwise received for not having Sangakkara. The decision came after long discussions between the two parties. The issue also raised questions of loyalty and money amongst the public. Sangakkara criticised SLC for how the affair was presented as such, saying "I am the one who suffers" regardless of his choice.

The number of wild elephants in all of India is thought to be about 26,000.


2013 Chapramari Forest train accident, Accident
At approximately 17:40 on 13 November, an Assam-bound passenger train travelling through the Chapramari Forest, Jaipur-Kamakhya Kavi Guru Express (19709), approached the Jaldhaka River Bridge at ~80 km/h and collided with a herd of 40–50 Indian elephants, killing five adults and two calves and injuring ten others.


2013 Chapramari Forest train accident, Accident
Surviving elephants fled but soon returned to the scene of the accident and remained there until being dispersed by officials.


2013 Chapramari Forest train accident, Aftermath
Additional Divisional Railway Manager B. Lakra stated, "We have heard of the accident. All necessary actions are being taken. Special relief train has been sent and all Assam bound trains are being deviated through alternate route." The track was reopened for service after 12 hours. A meeting to discuss future prevention was held between forest and railway officials on 14 November.


2013 Chapramari Forest train accident, Aftermath
According to a telephone interview of Jalpaiguri divisional forest officer Bidyut Sarkar conducted by The New York Times, "one female elephant, whose leg was fractured by the train and was unable to stand, fell into a ravine below the track, unreachable by cranes or trucks, so veterinarians descended and set up a camp near her to provide treatment". The remains of one elephant were caught up in the structure of the bridge and necessitated disintegration for removal.


2013 Chapramari Forest train accident, Aftermath, Jalpaiguri protest
A protest seeking better regulation for trains passing through the wildlife sanctuary occurred on 14 November in Jalpaiguri.

Electric fencing, stationary lighting, and motion sensors have each been proposed as technical measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Minister of State for Railways Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury stated that the accident "happened outside the area which has been earmarked as elephant corridor" and that it "is the responsibility of the state government to protect the wildlife [because] railway officials cannot".
