The former England captain Andrew Strauss is in talks about buying into a Hundred franchise. Strauss’s ­investment company, TTB Sport ­Capital, is acting as a consultant 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 England and Wales Cricket Board, 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.
