$20 million for one match

Melbourne: Texan billionaire Allen Stanford has offered the Australian, English and Indian cricketers US $20 million from a single Twenty20 match next year in the West Indies.

He is wooing Australian and English cricketers to play against an all-star team from around the West Indies for a winner-takes-all prize of $20 million.

The BCCI had snubbed a similar invitation from Stanford in the past. — PTI
