USPL the latest cricket league promises to bring the best of cricket and entertainment to promote the sport and bring it into the mainstream sports in the United States – a country where cricket is now starting to pick up.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates Jun 14, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - The game of cricket is making a grand entry in the United States with the US Premier League which aims to develop cricket from grass root level and support US cricket efforts in the direction of driving cricket to be part of the main sporting calendar of US Sports Landscape.
The US Premier League kicks off on Thursday, June 16, 2022, in New York - which will eventually become the red-letter day in the country's sporting history - creating a new milestone.
US Premier League, announced in March this year, has already been sanctioned as a semi-professional cricket league by US Cricket - the governing body of cricket in the United States.
The League will be played on a 20-over format - the most popular of all the cricketing formats, that lasts about three and a half hours with each team batting for 20 overs usually takes 90 minutes. The league has made a major investment in setting up a world-class content production unit for the live streaming of matches on Cricclubs.com. There are advance stage discussions to have the league on Major TV and OTT platforms which will be announced before the league starts on 16th March.
Eight teams - NY Gothams, Pennsylvania Cavaliers, Texas Cowboys, Washington Seattle Hawks, Florida Sharks, Maryland Mavericks, NJ Titans, and Carolina Eagles - will fight against each other in 46 matches to clinch the coveted US Premier League title, that ends with a grand finale on August 28, 2022. It is modeled as a franchise cricket league and would expand further in the coming months and years.
A ninth team, California Gladiators, has also registered for the cricketing season of 2023, a year ahead of the league, which reflects the strong investor interest in the US Premier League.
