Major League Cricket, often known as MLC or USA T20 Cricket League, is a new cricket tournament that will begin in the United States in mid-July 2023. America was one of the world’s early adopters of the league system. They introduced NBA for basketball lovers and NFL for football fans. However, America has a diverse culture from different nations across the globe. Many Asians, including Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Afghans, have immigrated to America in recent decades and are passionate cricket supporters.
American Cricket Enterprise and USA Cricket establish Major League Cricket in response to this significant gap and the popularity of cricket in America.
