New Delhi: The cricket fever is in the air in the United States of America as the second season of the Major League Cricket is set to be held in July this year.

Dozens of the world’s best cricketers competed alongside the nation’s top domestic talent across 19 matches. MI New York claimed the inaugural championship crown, defeating the Seattle Orcas in the championship final on July 30 at Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium.
