LordPrabhzy Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 they need some international standard stadiums in the US- having a 5/6 team tournament playing in 1 stadium- good way of promoting the game across USA lmao
BacktoCricaddict Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Depends on how you define success: From a revenue perspective? I have no idea. From a fan following perspective, it certainly fulfilled the craving of the Indian diaspora for top-notch cricket. The pageantry and quality of cricket from known commodities like Pooran, QdK, Boult, Rashid etc was good - even thought it seemed at times like they were just going through the motions. But they seemed to turn it on when they wanted. Is it sustainable as a league? Depends on how long the IPL teams will keep investing. Will it catch the fancy of the natives here? I doubt it, unless something dramatic happens. Football, basketball and baseball are firmly entrenched in the American culture. For 30 years, I've been hearing about soccer taking over, but it still seems to be a niche sport, at least on the men's side. Bottom line: For the foreseeable future, it will be held up by the expat crowd, over 95% of whom will be Indian expats. They will be the fans and their children will be the ones adding true American-born flavour to the league. The strong IPL connection is a master-stroke and will be required for its continued success.

LordPrabhzy Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/mlc-2023-major-league-cricket-conundrum-who-exactly-is-an-american-player-1390198 From a business perspective MLC is targeting the big first gen population of USA but if anyone has any hopes that is anything to do with USA cricket as a whole are deluded. This is an attempt by IPL owners to tap into the Indian US market to show them more matches in person with international stars as a temp investment as thry are generally starved of cricket. Once teams are established and IPL owners have investment to build permanent stadiums we might evens see India matches played there. Holding a cricket WC just in USA/Canada will be achievable purely down to the number of Indians there who would watch the matches. The irony is that the 2nd and 3rd gen indians in USA have no affinity or desire to follow cricket as they prefer US sports.. so will be very interesting to see if this league can sustain long term

Padosis, bangladeshish will also join given that few padosis took part in this. Afghanistanis may be. Few british guys. South africans. They have to ban all the other sports for cricket to take off here. Even then there won't be gaurantee
Zero_Unit Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Looks better than the GT20 crap Canada came out with. I went to one of the matches, the theme song is not even in English, it's in panjabi

They will be the fans and their children will be the ones adding true American-born flavour to the league. The strong IPL connection is a master-stroke and will be required for its continued success. Revenue Perspective: The response does not provide information about the league's revenue perspective. Fan Following and Quality of Cricket: The IPL has fulfilled the craving of the Indian diaspora for top-notch cricket. Known international players have contributed to the pageantry and quality of cricket, even though it might have seemed like they were sometimes going through the motions. Sustainability: The league's sustainability depends on how long the IPL teams will continue investing. Fancy of the Natives: The response suggests that catching the attention of native Americans might be challenging, as sports like football, basketball, and baseball are firmly entrenched in American culture. Soccer has been trying to gain popularity in the US, but it remains a niche sport, especially on the men's side. Demographics and Future: For the foreseeable future, the IPL will likely be supported by the Indian expat crowd, who will be the primary fans. The connection with the IPL and the strong presence of Indian expats will be vital for the league's continued success. The children of Indian expats may add a more American-born flavor to the league over time. Overall, the response provides insights into the impact of the IPL on fan following, acknowledges the challenges of capturing the native American market, and emphasizes the importance of the IPL's connection for the league's future success. Keep in mind that the response focuses on the IPL and may not cover other major cricket leagues or developments beyond the date of the response.
spiritb2 Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 Nothing but a Mini IPL for Asian Exfarts, natives don't even care about MLC
Kothili Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 They were supposed to build a cricket stadium near me. Project got canned because of locals pushing back. No legs for mainstream Cricket here.
