Indian Premier League gets a rival in Stanford
The Indian Premier League has a wannabe rival. Billionaire Allen Stanford
is the latest to realise the potential riches of the cracking Twenty20 format.
The Texan’s proposal is mindboggling – he is offering $20 million for a single Twenty20
Match next year to Indian, Aussie and English cricketers.
Stanford says they just need to play a game and win against an all star team in West Indies. Only string attached is that the winner will take all the $20 million.
So that means these cricketers will have to spend just 4 hours for a tempting deal. Any takers?
