Stanford Super Series gets go-ahead

9 October 2008

Stanford 20/20 have confirmed that the schedule for the Stanford Super Series and Stanford 20/20 for 20 will go ahead as planned later this month.

Following the recent findings of the arbitrator in the dispute between the West Indies Cricket Board and Digicel, Stanford 20/20 and Digicel held a series of extremely productive discussions during which they each committed to achieve a successful outcome for both their organisations and, most importantly, cricket in the West Indies.

An agreement between Stanford 20/20 and Digicel has now been reached which assures the future of the Stanford Super Series and the Stanford 20/20 for 20.

Sir Allen Stanford said: “I am pleased with both parties’ solution oriented approach and most importantly that this matter has been finally resolved.

“We look forward to welcoming fans from around the world to the Stanford Cricket Ground to enjoy a fantastic week of cricket.”

The Stanford Superstars squad are currently in training in Antigua and will continue their preparation uninterrupted leading into the Stanford Super Series, starting on October 25 and culminating with the Stanford 20/20 For US$20million clash between the Stanford Superstars and England on November 1.

Ticket sales are continuing online from www.stanford2020.com and the Stanford 20/20 box office in Antigua.
