Even GT&#8217;s minority partner CVC are believed to be interested and will participate via their UK arm.<br \/>IPL giants <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/mumbai-indians\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\">Mumbai Indians<\/a>, who are expanding their portfolio with teams in different cricket leagues around the world, have been in discussions with both The Lord&#8217;s (London Spirit) and The Oval (Oval Invincibles) for long and could end up having a base there. <br \/>The GMR group, 50% owners of the Delhi Capitals, are understandably keen for the Southern Brave outfit after a <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/gmr-hampshire-ink-historic-deal-as-delhi-capitals-co-owners-acquire-majority-stake-in-english-county-team\/articleshow\/113429103.cms\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\">historic deal with Hampshire<\/a> earlier this month.<br \/>GMR&#8217;s acquisition of Hampshire Cricket was the first entry of an overseas investor into the English County set-up, and gave them control of Utilita Bowl, the Hilton hotel and a 18-hole golf course adjacent to the cricket ground. It also beefed up GMR&#8217;s cricket portfolio which already features teams in the IPL, ILT20 in the UAE and Major League Cricket franchise in the USA.<br \/>Birmingham (Birmingham Phoenix) and Leeds (Northern Superchargers) are attracting interest for their strong Indian diaspora. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are keen to enter The Hundred and it will not be a surprise if Rajasthan Royals (RR) go aggressive in their approach too. RR co-owner Manoj Badale is based out of England and it makes sense for them to have some presence in The Hundred too.<br \/>Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) owner Sanjeev Goenka is also in touch with Avram Glazer, a shareholder at English Premier League giants Manchester United and NFL team Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who is interested in picking up a stake wherever the opportunity arises. Goenka had bid Rs 7,090 crore for the LSG franchise in 2021 and was previously the owner of the Rising Pune Supergiant in the cash-rich league for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.<br \/>More than two dozen Indian parties had shown interest and they were thoroughly vetted by the Raine Group, appointed by the ECB as their &#8220;financial advisor&#8221;. Next few weeks will give more clarity on India&#8217;s presence as ECB looks to keep The Hundred in good health via private investments.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
