Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the Hollywood actors who have transformed the fortunes of Wrexham Football Club as co-owners, are considering a further investment in Welsh sport with cricket side Welsh Fire.
Under the pair’s stewardship, Wrexham have enjoyed back-to-back promotions to return to the third tier of the English Football League for the first time in 19 years.
Now Reynolds and McElhenney could buy a stake in Welsh Fire, The Hundred franchise who play their home games at Glamorgan County Cricket Club’s Sophia Gardens ground in Cardiff.
Glamorgan hold a 51% stake in Welsh Fire and the club’s chief executive, Dan Cherry, told ESPNcricinfo that Reynolds and McElhenney have “made contact” over buying into the franchise.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is looking to raise about £500m from the sale of 49% stakes in the eight teams taking part in The Hundred.

“There’s obvious interest in what Ryan Reynolds and the guys have done at Wrexham, which has been fantastic for football in north Wales.
“That doesn’t necessarily mean to say that it’ll be the right option for us, but if they’re interested in talking to us, obviously it’s an exciting proposition.”
