""Just looking at the reception that the Asian diaspora was able to bring for that game just showed me what the potential of American cricket could very well be," Ashwin told ESPN on Saturday. "It's very exciting.""
""This will be the first time he's played in a major global franchise competition outside of India," MLC CEO Johnny Grave told ESPN. "And for us to be the first league to attract a player of this caliber is a testament to how the league's developed over the last three years since it was launched back in 2023.""
Ravichandran Ashwin, a prominent Indian cricketer, will play for the San Francisco Unicorns in Major League Cricket, becoming the first former Indian national player in the league. This move is significant as cricket returns to the Olympics in 2028. Ashwin's recent exhibition game in Dallas showcased the potential of cricket in America. He ranks eighth in Test wickets globally and has a large social media following. Other international stars will also participate in the league, highlighting its growth since its inception in 2023.
