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.

According to media reports, the England Board may allow IPL franchise owners to change the names of the teams to attract ‘Indian Money’.

A source told The Guardian, All the IPL owners are saying they will bid but they would like some control over their cash. This is essentially a brand play for the IPL so we expect them to change the name, depending on the amount they invest. Mumbai Indians franchise will bid for London Spirit Ambani family, owners of Mumbai Indians, may be seen making a big bid for Hundred’s team London Spirit, which can be named MI London. Let us tell you, Mumbai already has teams like MI Cape Town, MI New York and MI Emirates in three other T20 leagues. Rajasthan Royals will bid for Northern Superchargers as part of their investment in Yorkshire, while Delhi Capitals will bid for Southern Brave following their £120 million acquisition of Hampshire. ECB has also discussed with these investors The ECB has been in discussions with investors for several months, including American sports franchise owner Ryan Reynolds, a Hollywood actor, and Manchester United owner Avram Glazer, who have expressed interest in buying shares in the Hundred teams. The American owners of Birmingham City, Knighthead Capital, have expressed interest in buying shares in Birmingham Phoenix. Investors include NFL legend Tom Brady. The governing body has been given the green signal by the counties to formally begin the process next month, which will be run by Raine Group, the US bank that managed United & Chelsea’s recent sale, The Guardian reports further.
