With the signings of Steve Smith, Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell and likes of Ricky Ponting and Shane Watson as coaches, in just its second season, the Major League Cricket (MLC) is starting to flex its muscles. Despite cricket not being the first sport in the USA, MLC has grown leaps and bounds in a span of 12 months and since the second season is taking place right after the T20 World Cup where the national cricket team of the country did well and qualified for the second round, the competition will benefit it majorly.
A few key players have switched sides including Lockie Ferguson and David Miller but the since the local American players have become household names now, there is anticipation and excitement and hopefully a lot more things to come in the future.
