For the hundred investment CSK, SRH, and DC hold talks with England Cricket
After South Africa and the USA, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings are now interested in expanding their footprints to the UK. The two IPL franchises are looking to invest in The Hundred. The pet project of the England & Wales Cricket Board wants to restructure after the 100-ball tournament failed to live up to the hype.
As per the news report, the Sun TV Network, the parent company of Sunrisers Hyderabad, has already held talks with the ECB officials. However, a final call will only be taken in April, when the ECB decides on the privatization of the game.
Since expanding their footprints to South Africa’s SA20, Sunrisers have found success, with Sunrisers Eastern Cape winning the title in the first two editions.
Another IPL franchise Chennai The Super Kings, too, are looking at the UK. CSK has already invested in the SA20 and the USA’s Major League Cricket. The UK seems to be their next destination. However, the Super Kings are still waiting for a concrete offer from the ECB before deciding.
Similarly, Delhi Capitals co-owner GMR Group, which owns Dubai Capitals in the ILT20 and Pretoria Capitals in the SA20, is in talks with Hampshire County.
