MAJOR LEAGUE, THE EXCITEMENT SURROUNDING MAJOR LEAGUE CRICKET WITH ALL THE FLAGS, NO FLAG, FLAG AND WHISTLES HAS RETURNED TO GRAND PRAIRIE AND WE ENTER THE LIONS, THEN THE HOME OF THE TEXAS SUPER KINGS.IT'S THE THIRD SEASON FOR GPS OWN TEXAS SUPER KINGS, AND FOR THE MLC AT A PLACE THAT ONCE AGAIN WILL DRAW THOUSANDS OF FANS AND MANY OF THE SPORT'S, MOST ELITE PLAYERS TO THE SAME CITY.
THAT WAS ALSO RECENTLY NAMED THE NEW OFFICIAL HOME OF MAJOR LEAGUE CRICKET.
THIS STADIUM CAME TOGETHER IN RECORD TIME AND THAT'S WHY THE LEAGUE, UH, RELOCATED THE HEADQUARTERS HERE, OUR CEO, WHICH WE DID A GLOBAL SEARCH AROUND THE WORLD.
WE HAD PEOPLE FROM ABOUT 16 COUNTRIES PARTICIPATING IN THAT SEARCH.
WE EVENTUALLY MOVED THAT PERSON RIGHT HERE TO GRAND PRAIRIE TO TO BE AT THE HEADQUARTERS.
WHAT THEY SAW IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN A CONSTANT SINCE THE FORMER BASEBALL STADIUM WAS RENOVATED, REMODELED, RESURFACED, AND REOPENED PEOPLE OF ALL AGES FROM ALL OVER FLOCKING TO GRAND PRAIRIE STADIUM, BRINGING THEIR ENTHUSIASM, PASSION AND CURIOSITY READY TO EMBRACE AND FOR SOME, TO EDUCATE AND SPREAD THE WORD TO A GROWING NEW FAN BASE ABOUT THE WORLD'S SECOND MOST POPULAR SPORT.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT GREAT, IS BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A VARIETY OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS, DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD, DIFFERENT CLASS OF PLAYERS, YOU KNOW, ALL THE WAY FROM THE ROOKIES UP UNTIL THE TEST CRICKET AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL.
I MYSELF HAVE BEEN A FAN OF CRICKET FOR ALMOST, UH, 25 PLUS YEARS NOW.
I'M 31 AND I LOVE WATCHING CRICKET, ESPECIALLY ANYWHERE IT IS IN THE WORLD.
AND, UH, MLC COMING OVER HERE, IT'S A BOON FOR US.
IT'S BEEN A BOON FOR THE CITY TOO.
FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE YEARS, GRAND PRAIRIE WAS ALSO CHOSEN TO BE THE HOST VENUE FOR EVERY GAME OF THE MLC PLAYOFFS AND THE 2025 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
AND ON TOP OF THAT, ACCORDING TO THOSE IN THE KNOW THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
GRAND PRAIRIE HAS BEEN FANTASTIC TO US.
YOU CAN SEE IT'S GETTING BETTER EVERY YEAR IF IT'S GREAT TO HAVE BETTER AND BETTER PLAYERS, BETTER QUALITY OF CRICKET HERE, AND, YOU KNOW, IN THREE YEARS OF THE OLYMPICS AND THAT'S COMING TO AMERICA.
SO AFTER 150 YEARS, CRICKET WILL COME BACK TO AMERICA IN THE OLYMPICS IN LA AND WE'RE GETTING READY FOR THAT.
THE, AND OUR DOMESTIC BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE READY FOR WHEN IT, WHEN IT HAPPENS.
THE 2025 MLC SEASON CONTINUES IN GRAND PRAIRIE THROUGH JULY 13TH.
