LEICESTERSHIRE are set to have a sponsor for their Grace Road home for the first time in the ground’s 137-year history.
A five-year naming rights deal has been agreed but the sponsors are not set to be revealed for another couple of weeks.
Leicestershire chief executive Wasim Khan said: “The deal is done. They are significant supporters of sport in Leicester and it’s a major coup for us.
“It will bring significant finances in to the club over a five-year period.”
