The International Cricket Council said an agreement had been reached for the construction of a 34,000-seat stadium in Eisenhower Park, a purpose-built sports and events park in Nassau County, New York, pending the awarding of a required permit next month.
Venues in Grand Prairie outside Dallas and Broward County in Florida will be increased to expand seating, media, and premium hospitality areas to enable them to host matches in the 20-team tournament, making it the biggest T20 World Cup yet. “The USA is a strategically important market,” ICC chief executive Geoff Allardice said, “and these venues give us an excellent opportunity to make a statement in the world’s biggest sport market.”
The inaugural Major League Cricket competition was held this year in the United States, with teams from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, New York, and Washington — four of which are owned by franchises in the Indian Premier League — taking part. Grand Prairie staged many of the games. Florida also hosted recent T20s between India and the West Indies at Central Broward Stadium in Lauderhill.
