Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto, leads a consortium that invests 145m for a 49% stake in London Spirit. He reassures fans that the focus will remain on enhancing the sport and engaging its community. With the entire franchise valued at 285m, he emphasizes sport's essence comes from fans, not owners. Arora acknowledges fan concerns about prioritizing shorter formats but insists decisions will prioritize the franchise's interests and exciting talent recruitment. Reflecting on the Indian Premier League's influence, he expresses aspirations for The Hundred's growth and international player inclusion.
There's nothing we would want to do as a collective which actually disenfranchises the people who are most excited about it.
I don't have a grand plan in my back pocket. The bottom line is, can you get great, amazing talent to play the sport?
