Zaheer Khan Becomes Co-Owner of Lanka Premier League's Jaffna Kings Franchise
Former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan has become co-owner of the Lanka Premier League's Jaffna Kings, now rebranded as Anchor Jaffna Kings, following acquisition by Stockholm-based Anchor Sports AB. Zaheer joins owner Nagendra Siddoutam as the group expands its global cricket presence. The franchise, a four-time LPL champion and current points table leader, underwent ownership change after previous co-owner Manjot Kalra was arrested on fixing charges. Tournament officials welcomed the new ownership, expressing confidence in its positive impact.
