IPL 2008 winners Rajasthan Royals are eyeing an extraordinary takeover bid of the Yorkshire county cricket club in England and if all goes well, it would be the first-ever instance of a cricket club in the United Kingdom being owned by an overseas franchise.
As per a report in Daily Mail, the IPL franchise have offered Yorkshire around 25 million pounds, which—unlike other investment proposals the club have received—would see the Royals take full control at Headingley, ending its 160 years as a members’ club.
It was revealed last week that Yorkshire were considering selling Headingley to former Newcastle owner Mike Ashley to raise funds to pay off 15 million pound owed to the family trust of former chairman Colin Graves.
