Also, Cain International, a company co-funded by Chelsea part-owner Todd Boehly, agreed to a deal to pay 40 million pounds ($50 million) for 49% of Trent Rockets. The investors will enter an exclusivity period to finalize the deals. Proceeds from the sales will be split 19 ways — between the 18 long-established county teams in the English and Welsh domestic game and the Marylebone Cricket Club, which owns the storied Lord’s ground and is regarded as the guardian of the laws of the game. A large donation will also go to the recreational game in England and Wales. The Hundred only began in 2021. A total of four IPL ownership groups have now claimed a piece in the Hundred, with GMR’s interest in the Brave following on from Reliance (Mumbai Indians and Oval Invincibles), Sun Group (Sunrisers Hyderabad and Northern Superchargers) and RPSG (Lucknow Supergiants and Manchester Originals).
