    I can’t wait. They have some world class players playing. Became a cricket fan 3 years ago. I think they need to really focus on grabbing baseball fans. If cricket can get to the level of lacrosse in the states we could be a top team in my opinion. I just feel like they haven’t done a good job advertising the league outside of the already cricket watchers here. I really hope the league succeeds, and develop the youth levels. It really is a great sport to watch. They need to really emphasize T20 here. That’s the format that I think will have the best growth. It’s the best part of baseball without foul balls lol. If grown right I can see baseball players playing. Having our own American cricket culture develop will be interesting.

      It’s going to take time. If they really want it to grow here they need to focus on getting baseball fans into it. Baseball players picking it up at the youth level would also be a great thing. Baseball is just boring to me. I respect it but there’s a reason the audience is aging. Baseball was the best in the 90s when they were slugging the ball. T20 is that but non stop. They just really need to bring more awareness, and advertising. No one outside of current cricket fans here have no idea about this league. I feel like they’re relying too much on Americans who come from cricket playing nations. Also they need a TV deal that isn’t Willow. Barely anyone here has heard of willow.

    I just want to tell made host that IPL of cricket is most viewed as per audience and expensive as per money league in the world.Only 2nd after NFL.
    Last year they surpassed NBA(Basketball) and English Premier League(Football/Soccer).Per match income and price is higher then all other too leagues.
    Thr is just a little difference left between NFL and IPL.
    Only on OTT platforms Cricket viewership is 20-24 million viewers per match.
    Others who watch on TV and Other ways are different.
