Saudi Arabian Prince: IPL 2008 winners Rajasthan Royals are eyeing an extraordinary takeover bid of the Yorkshire county cricket club in England and if all goes well, it would be the first-ever instance of a cricket club in the United Kingdom being owned by an overseas franchise.

As per a report in Daily Mail, the IPL franchise have offered Yorkshire around 25 million pounds, which — unlike other investment proposals the club have received — would see the Royals take full control at Headingley, ending its 160 years as a members’ club.
