Former New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson sometimes receives blank stares when he tells people in his adopted home of Dallas that he is a professional cricketer.
But in an encouraging sign for the popular British commonwealth bat and ball game, as it attempts to make inroads in the U.S, there are increasingly more people who know what Anderson is on about. That’s because there has started to be media coverage over Major League Cricket, the first T20 professional league in the U.S, with Dallas to be the competition’s primary venue for the first edition starting in July 2023.
The six-team tournament, comprising 19 games, will feature franchises from Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington D.C, Seattle and New York City. Franchise names, rosters and salary caps are expected to be announced early next year.
