On December 03, Oval Invincibles, the most successful franchise of The Hundred, got rebranded as the MI London from 2026 onwards, after Surrey and the Reliance Industries Limited concluded their protracted negotiations in their equity sale.

Reliance secured a 49% stake in the Oval Invincibles, having valued the franchise at 123 million pounds, which is the second most expensive behind the Lord's-based London Spirit, for 295 million pounds. The delay reflects a reluctance at Surrey to relinquish a brand identity.
