Major League Cricket (MLC) T20 Action Returns To The United States This Summer
The second season of MLC will be played across two venues from July 5 to 28. As many as six extra league games have been added as the six-team tournament looks to build on the success of the opening season.
Major League Cricket’s second season matches will be hosted at Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina, and Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas.
Cognizant Major League Cricket’s CEO, Vijay Srinivasan, can’t wait to see the passion and enthusiasm come to life with cricket fans nationwide for the second season of Major League Cricket.
“We are incredibly excited to unveil the schedule for the 2024 season,” said Srinivasan.
“Last year, we unveiled MLC at the newly upgraded Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina, and the brand new Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie, Texas, which will both once again co-host the 2024 tournament, building on the impact of season one in those communities,” Srinivasan said.
The Texas Super Kings, spearheaded by Faf du Plessis, will take on West Indian off-spinner Sunil Narine’s LA Knight Riders at the purpose-built Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie, TX, at 7:30 PM CDT.
The opening weekend also features the Australian-stacked Washington Freedom featuring Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Travis Head, and coach Ricky Ponting, facing MI New York on Saturday, July 6, at 3:00 pm EDT. The San Francisco Unicorns, bolstered by hard-hitting opening New Zealand batter Finn Allen, will host the LA Knight Riders on Sunday night at Grand Prairie Stadium, TX, at 7:30 PM CDT.
