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.

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.
