RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group (RPSG Group), the owners of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), have acquire a 70% stake in the Manchester Originals. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had started the sale of The Hundred franchises last month and RPSG Group had paid on £116 million (Rs 1251 crore) of a minimum of 49% stake in the team.
Lancashire County Cricket Club (LCCC) has confirmed that after deliberating they will keep just 30% (worth £81.2 million/Rs 374 crore) of the Manchester Originals. The ECB’s clause meant that the counties will get a majority share (51%) but they can sell that stake to the new owners after deliberating. LCCC have chosen to sell an extra 21% to pay off their debts and remain afloat.
“The investment provides Manchester Originals with a global sporting partner which shares the Originals’ aspiration to become a major part of the sporting landscape in Manchester – one of the world’s leading sports cities – alongside its two famous football clubs,” LCCC said.
“We respect the legacy of Lancashire Cricket and we welcome Manchester Originals to our RPSG family. We are committed to developing a deep bond with the players, support team and the whole community at large. We believe in excellence and see a huge potential to deliver good quality cricket for generations to come,” the LCCC added.
“We are very excited with this partnership, and we believe this gives us the impetus to chart a new experience for our fanbase. Together with Lancashire Cricket, it is our endeavour to provide an elevated and meaningful experience to everyone who loves cricket,” Shashwat Goenka, vice-chairman of the RPSG Group, said.
