Indian American entrepreneurs transformed cricket in the United States by launching Major League Cricket in 2023, creating the country’s first fully professional T20 league with franchise investment from Indian Premier League owners. The following year, the United States co-hosted the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, while a national team built largely on diaspora talent advanced to the Super Eight stage. Together, these milestones established professional cricket in America and accelerated the sport’s emergence from an immigrant pastime to a nationally recognized competition.
