This sounds like a worrying development should it happen:
"Under new plans being thrashed out, the eight host clubs will be given a 50 per cent equity stake in their franchise, handing them a golden windfall that threatens to increase the gap between the Test grounds and smaller clubs. They will be able to raise revenue by selling their shares to private investors if they wish. If the ECB’s sells its equity, the money will be spread across the whole game."
