If MLB can take baseball to London, then why not cricket in the US? Having been raised on cricket in the UK and then moving to Florida forty years ago, I’ve seen sports crossover cultures. Once you understand the rules, it becomes a lot more interesting. With so many people from Asia and the Caribbean in the US, it has an instant fan base.
An international t20 game would be a fab idea in the states, if the USA caught onto cricket they would become a serious team in the future (same could be said for rugby too)
The good thing is, they probably won't have to for a while. I love test cricket but it struggles to gain a following outside of the traditional superpowers of the sport. T20 is the way forward and with that, the hope that the toughest format will continue to be considered the pinnacle of the sport.
No new countries will adapt to Tests. Given the screen time and attention span we have these days, even in India in coming years, Tests would not gain traction as it is supposed to. However, ICC will make the format more exclusive and more competitive by having it played only by the best once in a while, sustaining the thrill and purity of test cricket.
There was time when English people introduced it to their overseas territories like in india.,for their entertainment.,and now there iS an another era...when Indians are introducing this game to USA again for their entertainment 😅
ASIANS FANS ENOUGH MAINLY INDIANS.. AND IF USA DO BETTER IN 2024 WORLD CUP LOCAL AMERICANS MAY POUR IN TIME TO COMES.. IT WILL GROW IN YEARS TO COME.. NICE TO SEE HOW MEDIA COVERING THIS MLS.. LOVE FROM INDIA ❤ 🇮🇳🇺🇸
@@thyikmnnnn 1st season is a hit.. its shown in 84 countries.. as long as asian americans r thr .. this league will grow!! And it may become 2nd best cricket league in the world after ipl .. seeing the amount of money being spent by owners of each team inclusing us govt.👽
@@Billylamarthe amount of money and huge landscapes you have, America needs to tap into this cash rich game, especially since first ever international cricket match was between usa and canada
The fact is south Asians not just indians, but Pakistanis, Sri lanka, Bangaldeshis, Nepalis, afghanis love the sport as much as Americans love baseball. Not to mention actual south african people based in America not african Americans and the Caribbean folks. The sport can be another good addition to USA sport leagues and make good money for the place and players, not to mention create a stronger USA talent for the international games as well
Long way to go for it to be followed by Americans born and raised here. Most of the crowd out there are Indian immigrants mostly first generation. So that’s all the market they can tap into I doubt anything more than that
Why India has made cricket it's religion by disregarding it's own sportsperson of other games who have achieved at tough sports at world level. India , Pakistan, Srilanka, Bangladesh etc are zero in the games which requires speed, stamina, and fitness. Cricket mad India cannot be a sporting nation.Cricket is a game of convenience for these countries. Cricket requires skill and a limited amount of fitness is enough to make you world champ. Even fitness standard of the level with pot belly can also become world champs scoring tons. Running between the wickets in your own timing.In batting ball comes to you. If you cannot bowl fast like Brett Lee, become a spinner .Whereas in soccer, basketball, track and field, hockey, Tennis etc you not only need skills, but also enormous amount of speed, stamina, and fitness. OPPONENT STRETCHES YOU IN ALL THESE PARAMETERS. To beat Maradona you have to beat him in his speed, stamina and fitness . So is with Bolt, Micheal Jordon, Micheal Phleps, Nadal, Federer etc. It's neck to neck fight in all these parameters. If infrastructure and money are seen for any games popularity, than why people from India , Pakistan, Srilanka, Bangladesh etc settled in England, US and Europe don't play soccer, basketball, track and field tennis, rugby and other games, which are popular there. There also people from India, Pakistan, Srilanka, Bangladesh etc settled from generation play cricket only. Cannot find champs in games like soccer, basketball, track and field etc try to search champs in a lazy game cricket. You talk of Micheal Jordon, Indian will bring cricketer.You talk of Maradona and Pele Indian will bring cricketer. You talk of Micheal Phleps. Indian will bring cricketer. You talk of Federer and Nadal,Indian will bring cricketer.Even the cricket playing population in India is more than the population of England, Australia, Newzealand, South Africa combined. For these countries cricket is just a game. They are world class in soccer, basketball, track and field, basketball, hockey, volleyball, rugby etc. Rather Australia should focus more on soccer and try to win FIFA WORLD CUP which they haven't won so far, and they can. Even British Pride in Soccer not cricket. Cricket a lazy game leave to those who cannot play games of speed, stamina, and fitness.
Way too many Indians in the US is also the reason for sold-out venue. Why an MLB game won't Dell even 100 tickets in India? Way too little Americans in India.
Not only Indians, there are Australians, English, Pakistani, Africans, Bangladeshi and people from the Caribbean in US. That's a good number of fans for a league of this size.
Cricket 🏏 popularity increasing in Africa day by day . Hope more nations include with this beautiful and exciting game 😊
Love from Nigeria ♥️
I support Africa❤
how much cricket popular in nigeria
I Want Africa Countries to Play Test Cricket.
Any Way People In Africa Will Support More T20 or T 10 Format
they have a large ex-pat population from cricket countries
Do nigerian watch cricket ?
*CRICKET IS THE BEST SPORT*
No it's not.

It's an excellent sport. Very technical. T20 cricket is very entertaining and works for everyone but 5 day test cricket has piqued my interest. ❤️
right same
Cricket is growing fast in the USA 🇺🇸
Twenty twenty is all well and good. But I truly want to see if my USA friends can tolerate a 3 day Test Match.
5 days.
The good thing is, they probably won't have to for a while. I love test cricket but it struggles to gain a following outside of the traditional superpowers of the sport. T20 is the way forward and with that, the hope that the toughest format will continue to be considered the pinnacle of the sport.
Even in india, I do not think there is that much patience
T20 only for US, as they no have patience for TEST (5 Days) or One Day.. But if someone have patient like other countries, TEST is the BEST

@@vineethvino03 If this happening, I feel positive about Cricket.

Cricket is just too awesome ❤❤❤
There are enough Indian subcontinent immigrants in most places to provide support. Wish I was back there again, but love from India!
Blessing from jamaica
Americans may take 5 years only to know the rules of the game 😂❤
#WhistleForTexas 😎💛🥳
That’s awesome about cricket growing in the States coming from New Zealand
Cricket is emotion 😍
There was time when English people introduced it to their overseas territories like in india.,for their entertainment.,and now there iS an another era...when Indians are introducing this game to USA again for their entertainment 😅
ha ha
The last sentence from the lady sums up the general world awareness of the Americans 😂
True... Its getting played in the USA but only by desi people..
If it's played in evening night time... May be it will more popular
I wonder whether it will ever equal or even replace baseball in popularity in USA.
I like to see someone teach an American the advantages of a forward defensive stroke….😂
I love this game 🏆👍

It won’t. The league is only shown on Willow TV and not on mainstream TV. Most non cricket fans will never interact with the league.

Wow. Great to see that
How many internationally certified stadiums does america have? 1 at least, i believe
I think we have 2 right now. There’s a few that are starting construction in the near future.

Cricket is the second most popular sport in the World after football (soccer to Americans).
Cricket is the best sport for advertisers.

That's the market now, but it doesn't mean it can't transcend it
Cricket won't become mainstream in the U.S. until Real Americans start to show interest in this game, not just immigrants.
Only Indians 😂😂😂😂 We have enough and better cricket in india

Any game should be able to stand on it's own merits,would this be so popular there without all the razzmatazz.
cry about it
Try using this loguc with baseball in the resto of the world
By your logic, baseball and American football are utter failures.
It’s not for local population of overseas counties . It’s for Asian immigrants of those countries 😂
Oh God, Americans are going to ruin cricket arm't they?
Looks laclustre
its a game of thugs!!!!!! played by jokers
Great to see MLC doing so well! 👍
Cricket is THE GREATEST GAME on our Planet! 😍🤗
