New York: Cricket is officially breaking into new frontiers. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has finalized plans for the co-hosting of the upcoming world tournament in the United States and the Caribbean.
This historic move aims to popularize the sport in North America, tapping into a massive sports market and a passionate expatriate community.
New Stadiums and Infrastructure
Temporary and permanent state-of-the-art facilities are being built across Florida, Texas, and New York to host high-octane matches, including the highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan.
