The US is experiencing a surge in interest in cricket with the successful inaugural season of Major League Cricket (MLC) and the upcoming World Cup co-hosting. The MLC has seen significant audience growth and financial success, attracting high-profile international cricketers and generating revenues of around $8 million. The league aims to expand further, with plans for a full home and away season, increased salary cap, and exploration of player drafts. The Seattle Orcas, backed by tech investors, have made a winning debut, attracting diverse crowds and global television coverage. Major League Cricket and Major League Baseball are both expanding their presence in the U.S. and India, respectively.
