“The NCL is bringing more American players to the professional stage than ever before — putting U.S. cricket front and center,” said Rajan Singh, the CEO of the National Cricket League.
Singh added, “When fans see our U.S. stars sharing the field with international legends, it shows that the future of cricket in America is here — and it starts in Dallas."
The matches will be broadcast in over 50 countries to 2.5 billion fans worldwide, showcasing American cricket talent to the world while igniting the next generation of players at home. Backed by NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) Texas and in partnership with local universities and community leaders, the NCL seeks to build a platform where sport, culture, and community thrive together.
