ICC “excited” about the launch of new cricket stadium in New York

ICC expressed their exhilaration with regards to this new development as the stadium launched on Wednesday. The newly built Nassau County International Cricket Stadium has a capacity of 34,000. The Las Vegas Formula 1 circuit sources its infrastructure, and Florida prepares the drop-in pitches. The US and the West Indies will co-host the T20 World Cup for this year. Consequently, this stadium will be hosting a total of approximately 8 matches. These include:

June 3	Sri Lanka vs. South Africa
June 5	India vs. Ireland
June 7	Canada vs. Ireland
June 8	Netherlands vs. South Africa
June 9	India vs. Pakistan
June 10	South Africa vs. Bangladesh
June 11	Pakistan vs. Canada
June 12	USA vs. India

The most anticipated out of these is the traditionally famous Pakistan versus India. It is scheduled to take place on 9^th of June. This event becomes a hallmark as it pioneers the advent of Professional cricket in the US. Chris Tetley, the ICC head of events has stated,

“We are really excited to bring the T20 World Cup cricket to the US and the opportunity that it presents to the sport and from what I can see there is an audience really waiting for us to come.”

Other than hosting the ICC T20 World Cup, this stadium will also be accommodating T20 Cricket in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
