A “top three” English Premier League club is considering buying a stake in one of two new teams in next year’s Twenty20 cricket Indian Premier League, according to IPL chief Lalit Modi.
“There is a football club, a very famous football club in the UK, very interested in bidding,” Modi told UK newspaper The Times yesterday.
“[They are] probably one of the most famous football clubs — that’s all I can say. Probably top three. They are interested in taking a stake.”
Modi said England’s Marylebone Cricket Club is also discussing with him the possibility of buying a stake in an IPL team.
The new two franchise teams for the 2011 IPL season will be sold at auction on March 12. An invitation to bid will be issued this week.
