The game is our capital.
12th Man Holdings is the sports division of Majid Bhai Capital.
We invest in cricket teams, leagues and the businesses that support them, with the discipline of long-term capital and the perspective of people who understand the game.
The board names eleven. We are the twelfth.
The 12th man is the one who stays ready when it matters.
We approach cricket the same way: with patience, preparation, and capital that is built to stay.
What we do
Investment and operating roles across the business of cricket.
Team and league ownership
We take minority and majority positions in franchise and league cricket, always with meaningful involvement at the board and operating level.
Team management and operations
We support the commercial and operational side of the game so the cricket can remain the priority.
Fan and media platforms
We invest in content, media and matchday experiences that turn interest into lasting engagement and commercial value.
Cross-market access
With presence across the Gulf, Asia and North America, we connect opportunities and capital across regions.
Patient capital
As part of Majid Bhai Capital, we bring more than two decades of investment experience and a long-term ownership mindset.
How we invest
Four commitments shape every position we consider.
We invest to hold.
Our horizon is measured in seasons and cycles, not quarters, and we invest alongside partners who share it.
A seat, not just a stake.
We look for a real role at the board and operating level, and we do the work that comes with it.
The cricket comes first.
Commercial decisions should serve the side on the field. Value follows a team people want to watch.
Few positions, known well.
We would rather understand a small number of teams and leagues deeply than spread thin across many.
The 2027 Men's Cricket World Cup
South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. 2 October to 21 November 2027.
A defining moment for the game. We will be there, as investors and as supporters.

Born from a long relationship with the game.
12th Man exists because of a genuine and sustained interest in cricket.
Our founder has followed the sport from the stands for nearly three decades, from early experiences in Toronto to Lord's, Dubai and the 2026 T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad.
That history now has institutional capital and operating capability behind it.
