“I can’t reveal the details of how far we are in that process but I am happy to say that we are looking into all opportunities, including the WIPL. The India market is of interest to us. A lot of Indian cricket fans will be watching this tournament and will see what the Desert Vipers will bring to that. If anything, we want to bring an exciting brand of cricket to the Indian fans, just as to our fans all around the world,” Oliver said.
Glazer Family unsuccessfully bid for both Lucknow and Ahmedabad franchises in 2021 through Lancer Capital. However, they lost out to eventual winners CVC Capitals (Ahmedabad) and RPSG Group (Lucknow).
