The IPL franchise’s interest in London Spirit’s Hundred stake reflects the growing appeal of franchise cricket and the potential for expansion and investment.
The cricket world has witnessed a significant development as five IPL franchises have expressed interest in acquiring a stake in London Spirit, the Lord’s-based team that competes in the Hundred tournament. This has been confirmed by MCC president Mark Nicholas, who is set to take over as the club’s president in October.
The popularity of The Hundred has already generated a lot of excitement and it has established itself as one of the most sought-after cricket leagues across the world.
Cricket will get a boost from World Cricket Connects
MCC President Mark Nicholas has announced that the MCC will hold “World Cricket Connects” at Lord’s. This will be an event that will help shape the ongoing success of the game and will also aim to provide a platform that will help all stakeholders.
The event will also be attended by some of the most influential cricket personalities and BCCI secretary Jay Shah is also likely to attend the event. The ECB recently offered The Hundred franchise to investors with only 49% stake, while the remaining 51% controlling stake will be held by team owners and the MCC. So that no outside franchise can dominate.
The IPL franchise’s interest in a stake in London Spirit reflects the growing appeal of franchise cricket and the potential for expansion and investment.
