Alphabet Inc. Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai is joining Silicon Valley executives bidding for a London-based cricket team, according to people familiar with the matter.
The consortium is putting in a bid of more than £80 million ($97 million) for either the Oval Invincibles or London Spirit. The teams play in The Hundred, a short-form tournament in England and Wales that’s pulling in younger fans and more families.
