American-born, Antiguan-based billionaire Allen Stanford has offered Australia the chance to be part of a Twenty20 competition that he hopes will also draw India, Pakistan and New Zealand and feature prizemoney of more than $20million. Stanford, who is trying to make Twenty20 popular in America, has made a direct proposal to Cricket Australia, which is considering the offer.
