Well that is certainly something. I heard about this but I never looked into this until now. Just thought to share some usa cricket news
From the Washington Freedom Facebook page
That final was definitely a fun one. Congrats to the Manchester super giants. I'm glad that MLC players found glory in england.
Saw it on Willow TV on Amazon. I really wanted to see a new champion for the hundreds and happy to have it happen with MLC stars
A lovely article that has information about the Olympics
It would be great spreading the love for cricket 🏏 in the usa and having a team there would be a game changer because mlc can play more games in other locations instead of 3 like we currently have
It would seem the SFUnicorns won the playoffs against the Dessert vipers I think there going to the championship. This is much needed exposure for the unicorns 🦄 imagine if they win this international title. No other mlc team has done that. But idk 🤷♂️ this tournament is new
I think this is a good sign for usa cricket 🏏
The way I got into cricket was with usa defeating Pakistan in t20 wc and my friends telling me about it. My other sports team were doing bad and I had nothing to do so I watched the usa lose to India after which that sucked. I couldn't get into international cricket unless the usa was there. Also couldn't get into the Indian Premier league yet. I saw the near by team LA knight riders but in 2024 the stadium wasn't built. Until the stadium and friends talking about it I got interest. That took a little while. But eventually all led to here that final I went to in oakland and it was phenomenal 🙌.
I also started watching the gt20 champions league thing and I think having more international competition in the US would boost interest. The San Francisco Unicorns defeated the Australian champions Perth Scoochers. It definitely will bring interest bringing that competition to Oakland coliseum for SF. That makes me think how would the usa get interest for mlc. Will just defeating a big team be enough like for me with usa defeating Pakistan or a good place in those tournaments be enough?
