Psychologist Ashis Nandy once wrote that cricket was an Indian sport accidentally discovered in England.While the jury is still out on that one,the theory can be applied more aptly to t20 format.Like most things in cricket, the twenty20 format was developed in England.So much so that twenty20 with Roman alphabets and Indo Arabic numerals are only used in the UK. But t20 was ingrained into the culture of the various islands of the West Indies by Allan Stanford, an American now in jail for financial misdemeanours. Cricketers from the West Indies play in leagues as afar as Zimbabwe and Newzealand. Cricketers from the West Indies are widely popular in cricket playing world and several of them make millions from cricket across the World. T20 does appear to be a West Indian format accidentally discovered in England.
