Johannesburg: The Twenty20 World Champion India has been invited by Texan billionaire Allen Stanford to play a $5 million winner-take-all match against the Stanford Super Star team on June 29 next year. Sir Allen, the financier behind the Stanford Twenty20 tournament in Antigua, proposed the match before India’s five-run win over Pakistan in the Twenty20 World Cup final. “Since this is the first Twenty20 World championship and that is the format of our tournament, we felt it was fitting to have this team come and play our Super Star team next year,” Stanford was quoted as saying in the West Indian media. The Super Star team will be chosen from the players participating in the Stanford Twenty20 regional tournament scheduled for January 25 to February 24 next year. West Indies Cricket Board President Julian Hunte strongly supported the match against India. However, if India does not accept the invitation, Stanford is expected to approach Australia, the report said. The proposed match against India follows the decision of the Stanford Twenty20 Board to not proceed with efforts to stage an annual, international $25 million Twenty20 series. — PTI
