The U.S. is about to experience a major shift in the world of sports with the introduction of Major League Cricket (MLC). This new professional cricket league is backed by a group of billionaires who are investing in the expansion of the sport in the U.S.
The MLC is the brainchild of American businessman Vijay Srinivasan, who has been working on the project for over two years. He has managed to secure the backing of some of the world’s wealthiest individuals, including Indian-born entrepreneur Mukesh Ambani, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and Saudi Arabian investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
The league is set to launch in 2021 and will feature eight teams across the U.S., with each team playing a total of 14 games over the course of the season. The teams will be based in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Miami.
The league is expected to bring a new level of excitement to the sport of cricket in the U.S., as well as a much-needed boost to the economy. It is estimated that the league will generate over $1 billion in revenue over its first five years, with most of that money going towards player salaries and stadium construction.
The league is also expected to create thousands of jobs in the U.S., from players to coaches to stadium staff. This could be a huge boon for the economy, especially in cities where cricket is not currently popular.
The MLC is an exciting development for cricket fans in the U.S., and it is sure to bring a new level of excitement to the sport. With the backing of some of the world’s wealthiest individuals, it looks like cricket is here to stay in the U.S. for many years to come.
