Sir Allen Stanford, the man behind the Stanford Super Series is reportedly in hospital following a fight with a prison inmate.

The Texas billionaire was involved in an incident at the Joe Corley Detention Facility in Conroe about 40 miles north of Houston.

The 59-year-old was charged in February by the US Securities and Exchange Commission with fraud and multiple violations of securities laws for alleged "massive ongoing fraud" involving USD8billion relating to the now defunct Stanford Financial Group.

England had been due to play five Twenty20 internationals with a West Indies all-star XI with a total prize fund of USD20m (£12.27m).

England lost the opening game by 10 wickets and when the fraud investigation became public the England and Wales Cricket Board cut all ties and cancelled all contracts with Stanford.
