MCC confirms 'exploratory' IPL talks
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has confirmed that it has held "exploratory" discussions with members of a consortium bidding for an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise.
Talks were also held between the club and IPL officials regarding ongoing efforts to promote the MCC Spirit of Cricket campaign as part of the annual tournament. A small working party has been set up to explore the results of a fact-finding trip by MCC chief executive Keith Bradshaw and trustee Anthony Wreford to India, before reporting back to the MCC committee.
Bradshaw said: "We would not pursue a path that we believed was contrary to the best interests of the sport or to the future health of Test match cricket. Undeniably, the game is changing. MCC, as an innovative, independent cricket club, wants to be at the heart of that change."
