- Proposal will offer eight franchises for sale to private investors
- John Spellar: ‘There should be full public accountability’
A Labour MP has called on the government to review any future decision by the England and Wales Cricket Board to sell its stake in the eight Hundred franchises to private investors.
The ECB has given the 18 counties plus the MCC until this Friday to give consent to this new “direction of travel” for the sport’s showpiece domestic competition. Under one current ECB proposal the Hundred teams will be offered for sale to private investors, with the ECB relinquishing all control over the teams.
