The owners of Indian Premier League side Kolkata Knight Riders would be interested in buying a stake in a new Hundred franchise if the competition expands.
Knight Riders Group (KRG) were among those involved in the bidding when the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) auctioned off stakes in the eight franchises last year.
KRG were in the running for Trent Rockets, who eventually sold a 49% stake to Cain International - the investment firm founded by Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly and British businessman Jonathan Goldstein - for just under £40m.
BBC Sport understands senior KRG officials decided not to progress with their interest because they felt the franchise was slightly overvalued.
However, they would consider returning to the table again if The Hundred expands from eight franchises to 10.
