    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Per BBC Sport, the co-owners have "made contact" over investing in Welsh Fire, a cricket team that plays their games in Cardiff. Glamorgan have a 51% stake in the team, and Reynolds and McElhenney are said to be exploring the idea of investing themselves.

  • WHAT DAN CHERRY SAID

    Welsh Fire's chief executive Dan Cherry has confirmed that initial contact has been made.

    He said: "It is a feasible option. Contact's been made.

    "There's not been anything substantial come back yet, but we're in the process and I know that they'll certainly be included in any process that we've got going forward.

    "All bids and offers that are going to come in are going to be interesting to us, and we're going to have to evaluate what the best bid is for us.

    "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."
