  • The opening matches of this year's Major League Cricket tournament will be played on drop-in pitches used for last summer's T20 World Cup in New York. Two of the four turf pitches installed at Eisenhower Park in Nassau County have been dug up and transported 3,000 miles by trailer to the Oakland Coliseum in California. MLC have enlisted Damian Hough, head curator at the Adelaide Oval, to oversee their installation at the iconic former home of the Oakland Athletics baseball team.

The article from Yahoo Sports discusses the upcoming Major League Cricket (MLC) tournament set to take place in the United States, highlighting its significance as a step towards establishing cricket in the country. It mentions that the MLC will feature six teams and is scheduled to start on July 13, 2023, at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas. The article also notes the involvement of prominent cricket players from around the world, which is expected to boost the tournament's appeal. Additionally, it touches on the strategic move of hosting the tournament in the U.S., especially in light of the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024, which will also be co-hosted by the U.S. and the West Indies. The piece emphasizes the potential growth of cricket in America, supported by the sport's inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
