The National Cricket League (NCL) has announced a partnership with the New York Stock Exchange Texas (NYSE Texas) and released the official jersey for the limited-over cricket tournament kicking off from Oct. 3 at the University of Texas at Dallas.
The NCL said in a release the occasion marks a “powerful alignment between the world of finance and one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States”.

The partnership will be on full display when the NCL’s inaugural tournament between Oct. 3 and 13, it said, adding: “With six franchises, nightly themes honoring veterans, alumni, healthcare heroes, and sustainability, plus international stars and mentors shaping the next generation of players, the NCL is building momentum from the grassroots up.”
On Oct. 3, Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar and NCL Chairman Arun Agarwal will ring the NYSE Texas opening bell, just hours before the first ball is bowled at UT Dallas.
“This is more than sports. This is about connecting two powerhouses — cricket and capital markets,” said Arun Agarwal. “Having NYSE Texas on board reflects the credibility, ambition, and excitement surrounding U.S. cricket. Together, we’re building a platform where students, communities, and fans across the globe can be part of history.”
Bryan Daniel, President of NYSE Texas, said: “At NYSE Texas, we recognize that much like the capital markets, cricket is built on strategy, resilience, and execution. As cricket takes root in the U.S., Dallas is well-positioned to become both a financial and sporting hub with global reach, and we’re excited to be partnering with the National Cricket League.”
