Mark Nicholas

Nicholas, also a veteran commentator and writer, is set to take over as the Spirit's chairman later this October.

Nicholas has based his revelation on a recent letter by MCC CEO Guy Lavender to the members, seeking their approval for England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB)'s offer to privatise 49 per cent stake in the Spirit.

He, however, did not reveal which IPL teams have shown their interest in buying stakes.
