England and Wales Cricket Board (Image Source: ECB) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had earlier announced that they have started the process of privatising the eight teams participating in The Hundred tournament. According to Vikram Banerjee, Director of Business Operations at the ECB, it will take them some time to find the right partner who will not only bring money but also their expertise. According to ESPNcricinfo, each county involved in The Hundred has a 51% stake – which they can either hold on to or sell for money. The ECB has the other 49%, for which they are looking for a buyer. The money they get from selling the 49% stake will be distributed between the first-class counties, Marylebone Cricket Club and the recreational game. “The most important thing is whether we find the right partners. If it takes a little while, that’s fine. We’ve been running for four years and so, if in this first round, we find that either the values are not there for one or all the teams, or the right partner is not there for one or all the teams, that’s fine. We’ll just keep running it, we’ll do another year. My priority is to get the right partners and make them amazing and help us grow,” Banerjee told the Business of Sport podcast. I think it is possible: Vikram Banerjee Vikram Banerjee further said, ‘If we do not find the right partner, for example for London Spirit, then we will hold it and work with MCC for another year and then try it next year. I think it is possible. We want to completely confirm this deal in the next 6 months.’ Meanwhile, in August, The Telegraph reported that GMR Group, the co-owners of Delhi Capitals, agreed a £120 million deal to buy Hampshire, which will also see them own 51% of Southern Brave. However, this has not been made official yet. According to the report, the ECB has held extensive discussions with foreign investors. Apart from GMR Group, Sun Group, which owns Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, is currently in talks with the owner of Northern Superchargers.

“Flight delayed for 4 hours, did not get a chance to practice”- Is ICC responsible for Afghan team’s defeat in the semi-finals?
Afghanistan suffered a crushing defeat by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match. Afghanistan Cricket Team (Photo Source: X) Afghanistan had to face defeat by 9 wickets against South Africa in the first semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, the culprits for Afghanistan’s defeat were their batsmen, as the team was all out for 56 runs. However, the real reason behind this was something else, which was mentioned by former great England cricketer Michael Vaughan as soon as the match started. Vaughan had posted on social media that Afghanistan’s team could lose due to two reasons. This is what happened. After Afghanistan’s defeat, Michael Vaughan’s tweet is going viral like fire. Fans are also giving their reactions on that tweet. Michael Vaughan tweeted before the first semi-final match In fact, before the Afghanistan vs South Africa semi-final match, Michael Vaughan had posted a post and wrote, “So Afghanistan qualified for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024 in St Vincent on Monday night. Their flight to Trinidad was delayed by 4 hours. So they did not get time to practice nor could they get used to the new place. I am afraid there is a complete lack of respect for the players.” In this way, he has targeted the ICC without naming it, because the schedule is made by the ICC. Let us tell you that earlier Rohit Sharma had also given his opinion about the schedule made by the ICC. So Afghanistan qualify for the WC semi winning in St Vincent on Monday night .. 4 hr flight delay on Tues to Trinidad so no time to practice or get accustomed to a new venue .. utter lack of respect to players i am afraid .. #T20WorldCup2024 — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 27, 2024 After the last match against Bangladesh, Afghanistan had to catch a flight in the afternoon, but the flight was four hours late. So the flight arrived late at night and they did not get time to practice. The next day they had to play in the semi-final match and this proved to be costly for the team. You will remember that many teams had raised questions on the schedule even at the beginning of the tournament. In this way, if it is said that the reason behind this poor performance of Afghanistan is the schedule of ICC, then it will not be wrong.
