Stanford organisers deny sacking reports

The organisers of the Stanford 20/20 for 20 have denied rumours that the president of the tournament's board of directors, Andrea Stoelker, has been sacked.

"I've received all sorts of calls this morning asking if she's been demoted, sacked or reprimanded, but this speculation is absolutely untrue," a Stanford spokesman told Cricinfo. He also confirmed that Stoelker is Allen Stanford's fiancée.

Stoelker has been closely involved in much of the organisation surrounding the event and was believed to be the main point of contact in dealings with the ECB. She also worked on the dispute between the West Indies board and Digicel which at one stage threatened to lead to the cancellation of the main game.
