They must be laundering cash or tapping into some sort of government incentives, otherwise it looks like someone just wants to lose a lot of money.


USA Cricket Chooses Partner to Fund and Develop U.S.-Based Professional T20 Cricket League - USA Cricket

USA Cricket has completed its RFP process for the development of a world-class professional T20 cricket league in the United States and has selected American Cricket Enterprises (ACE) as its strategic partner. This historic milestone furthers USA Cricket’s vision to bring professional cricket to the world’s largest sports market, concluding a multi-stage evaluation process that began in November 2018 with a public invitation for proposals for building a U.S.-based T20 professional league. USA Cricket’s long-term agreement with ACE marks the most ambitious and transformational venture ever undertaken in the American cricket landscape that will result in over $1 billion invested into the development of cricket domestically.

Cricket is the sport for people who don't like running and think baseball's pace is too fast to follow. It will NEVER be popular in America outside of immigrants who liked the sport in their home countries. Who the hell watches how much soccer struggles to take hold in America and then puts down a billy on a sport without even 10% of the pull that soccer has?

and by the way it involves more running than baseball

I like watching cricket from time to time, I like watching most team sports for that matter, just don't see it working here

We barely have any official cricket fields, like 3 iirc

T20 is faster paced than baseball and they're probably gonna be targeting immigrant communities at the jump

What's to understand? A bowler bowls the ball and the batsmen attempt to hit it as far as possible.

Guess it's easier for us Aussies to understand as it's pretty much the 2nd most popular sport here.

People from outside the U.S. have repeatedly told me that it's the 2nd most popular sport in the world, after soccer.
How true do you think that is?
