English county sides might have to consider handing back money received as part of a deal with the Texan billionaire Allen Stanford, who's facing multi-billion dollar fraud charges in the United States.

The Stanford affair has been deeply embarrassing for English cricket, with prominent critics slamming those who run the sport.
