England and West Indies to be benefitted by Twenty 20!!

After the IPL many countries have started thinking about Twenty20 seriously. Pakistan have already announced that they will be starting a series similar to the IPL next year. Antiguan-based billionaire Allen Stanford has confirmed that he will be investing US$100 million in a series of Twenty20 matches over the next five years which will make England and West Indies players among the highest paid in the game.

The deal, announced at a slick media conference at Lord's, will centre on five US$20 million games between England and a Stanford All-Stars XI, drawn from the Caribbean, at his purpose-built ground in Antigua. The first of these will be held on November 1, Antigua Independence Day, before England head to India.

This is good news for West Indies as well as England as they were the ones who were the most affected.
