The new owners of the Northern Superchargers have changed The Hundred franchise’s company name to Sunrisers Leeds.
A document which confirmed a change of name, which was long expected to incorporate the word ‘Sunrisers’, was submitted to Companies House, external on 31 October.
The Headingley-based franchise were brought by the Sun Group, owners of Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad during the sale of the Hundred franchises.
Sun Group paid just over £100m for a 100% stake stake in the franchise – one of only two sides alongside Southern Brave to sell up entirely.
