Ex-ECB director’s TTB Sport Capital seeking stakeInvestment firm hoping for overseas and IPL interest
Former England captain and ECB managing director Andrew Strauss is in talks about buying into a Hundred franchise. The Guardian has learned that Strauss’s investment company, TTB Sport Capital, is acting as consultants on behalf of potential bidders from India, the US and the UK and could even make its own bid.
Strauss joined TTB Sport Capital last year with a brief to lead its cricket investment after two spells at the ECB, one as a director and the other in an advisory role, following his illustrious playing career. The 47-year-old is executive chairman and a shareholder in the company so would have a personal stake should it invest in one of the eight Hundred franchises.
