Can America be the Next Global Cricket Powerhouse?
When one thinks of cricket, the mind instantly travels to the lush green outfields of Lord’s, the electric atmospheres of Mumbai and Chennai, or the fierce rivalries in Melbourne. The United States? Not quite. But in a twist no one quite saw coming, cricket in America is no longer a footnote—it’s becoming a story worth watching.
At the heart of this shift is Major League Cricket (MLC), a fully professional T20 league that made its debut in July 2023. With over $120 million in backing, MLC isn’t just a token effort—it’s a serious venture. Investors include Silicon Valley’s elite, top Microsoft executives, and big names from the IPL universe like Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, who see the U.S. as cricket’s next frontier.
