The Indian Premier League (IPL) teams had previously been contacted by the England and Wales Cricket Board regarding their claim to a share in the Hundred teams. The ECB had suggested that the teams own a sizable portion of each of the league’s eight franchises. Due to these changes, Lancashire has expressed interest in running the Manchester Originals squad as a joint venture starting in 2025 with a few IPL teams.
Star players such as Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, and Venkatesh Iyer are eager to sign as overseas players, and the club is experiencing a great deal of enthusiasm in Indian cricket circuits. Additionally, the club has participated in pre-season tours with both men’s and women’s teams from India. There have been several of friendly games between teams affiliated with the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchises.

“You need to increase your number since the ECB is running the first round, as I’ve mentioned to several individuals from that region of the world. London is your gig if you want to pay a lot of money and have an ego. Many will prefer London, but there are only two teams, and one of them is looking for a passive investor only, so that reduces your options. Aside from that, I told folks, ‘We are not the cheap people. We are the best value if you’re looking for it,” the CEO continued.
