Kolkata Knight Riders’ owners indicate they are prepared to revisit their investment in England’s The Hundred if the competition expands. A report says the franchise group would consider bidding for a new Hundred team if the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) increases the tournament size.
The proposed change would take the league from eight teams to 10, starting in 2029. The same report links the potential decision to whether an expansion process opens up additional franchise opportunities. The outlet does not provide details on financial terms, bid timing, or how many new franchises would be available beyond the expansion from eight to 10 teams.
While the underlying story centers on a possible ECB structural change, the available coverage focuses on the owners’ readiness to consider another franchise rather than on the ECB’s broader rationale or any alternative bidders’ plans.
