ICC gave List-A status to this cricket league
Major League Cricket: The International Cricket Council has taken a big decision. The ICC has granted List A status to an associate-run franchise league. This cricket league is none other than the Major League Cricket (MLC) played in the United States. MLC has become the second associate-run franchise competition to receive List A status from the ICC, before this UAE’s ILT-20 also received List A status.
MLC gets List-A status
Major League Cricket received a lot of love from fans in its first season last year. After the great success of the first season, the schedule for the second season of the league has been released. The second edition of Major League Cricket is going to start from July 5. Its final match will be played on July 28. Getting List A status before the start of the second season is a big achievement for Major League Cricket.
What changes will come after getting List-A status?
List-A status means that the MLC will now be recognised as an official T20 league, with records from playing the tournament now counting towards official format statistics. Previously, records made in the league were not counted in T20 cricket. Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, tournament director Justin Gayle said, “We are very excited by this news as it is a recognition of the standard and high quality of players participating in the tournament. I am grateful to the ICC for taking the time to consider this.”
