MUMBAI: Preity Zinta , co-owner of Kings XI Punjab , has stepped beyond the IPL bailiwick and bought a local cricketing eleven in the South African league for $30 million, signaling Indian dominance in the ownership of teams that feature in the T-20 tournament."We have bought the team from Cricket South Africa for $30 million. Numbers seem to be working so let's cross our fingers," Bollywood actress Zinta told ET after she bought the Stellenbosch team in South Africa’s T20 Global League (T20GL).Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, who owns IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, and GMR Sports (owner of Delhi Daredevils) already own Cape Town and Johannesburg franchises, respectively, in the upcoming league."I learnt a lot about cricket, business and life in the IPL and cannot equate the experience to any equity or words. This can be a wonderful opportunity to look for talent in another continent and take our brand global," the Bollywood actress said. "Managing KXIP has been an unbelievable experience and I'm excited to go to South Africa. It's time to increase our footprint."Haroon Lorgat, chief executive at Cricket South Africa (CSA), said. “The introduction of a Bollywood star like Preity speaks volumes for the T20 Global League and finalises an eminent and enviable group of owners. Her experience and stardom will add value to the T20GL.”On June 20, when franchise owners were first announced, Mustaq Enus-Brey, cofounder of Brimstone Investment Corporation, was named as owner of Stellenbosch Monarchs.However, Brimstone Investment could not get permission from the company board and had to let go of the franchise. “The deal wasn’t signed when Brimstone had backed out. So, there was no owner for the franchise,” Lorgat told ET over the telephone from Johannesburg.Lorgat also said that Zinta has requested to get in a local partner for her franchise. “Right now, she owns the team completely, but is keen on getting a local partner for the team. CSA has allowed her to do that.”In T20GL, Zinta will be the only woman team owner. “I would like to compliment and thank Haroon Lorgat for his unrelenting persistence, passion and belief in the T20 Global League which inspired me to come on board,” said Zinta.
