Anchor AB is a Stockholm-based sports ownership group co-owned by Zaheer and Nagendra Siddoutam, who have taken over the ownership after the franchise was fully operational and controlled by Sri Lanka Cricket and IPG. One owner was arrested ahead of the tournament, and another went missing; that is the reason SLC and IPG took over emergency control.
"The acquisition further strengthens Anchor Sports' growing international portfolio, which already includes the Antwerp Anchors in the European T20 Premier League (Belgium) and the Vancouver Anchors men's and women's teams competing in Canada's Super60 league," an IPG media release said.
"This is a significant step for us": Nagendra Siddoutam, co-owner of Jaffna Kings
"This is a significant step for us," Siddoutam said in the release. "Sri Lanka has a rich cricketing heritage, and the LPL has established itself as a well-run, highly competitive league in a short span of time.
Zaheer Khan happy to be part of ownership of an LPL franchise
Zaheer Khan stated that he is happy to be a part of the deal, and he has always been a fan of Sri Lankan cricket and their bowling talent, as he has visited the country a lot of times during his playing days for the India National Cricket Team and now, being the co-owner, he is thrilled and excited to get started.
"To now be part of Sri Lankan cricket as an owner is something I'm genuinely thrilled about, and I can't wait to get started with the Anchor Jaffna Kings."
LPL Tournament director Samantha Dodanwela said: "Having an owner of Zaheer Khan's calibre involved with the Anchor Jaffna Kings is a real boost for the league. The mentorship and direction he can offer our young Sri Lankan players will be enormous, and we're excited to see that experience passed on both on and off the field."
