Justin Geale, Tournament Director of Minor League Cricket
commented, “We were really pleased to be able to get some cricket in last year in spite of all the challenges with the global pandemic, but we are all now just hugely excited at getting the first full season of Minor League Cricket going in 2021. The primary aim with Minor League Cricket is to give a platform and opportunity for the best cricketers in America to showcase their abilities at a national level. Minor League Cricket would like to request that all players register ASAP to have a chance of getting involved in this historic first season. The Player Registration Portal is now fully open so please ensure to sign up now.

We will have more details about the first full season of the tournament over the coming weeks and we will provide regular updates with our partners at USA Cricket building up to the inaugural season with more details on the Minor League Cricket Draft, the schedule, teams, grounds and much more. We are thankful to all of our owners and the players, officials and volunteers who are joining us on this journey for the inaugural season of Minor League Cricket in 2021.”

“USA Cricket would like to thank everyone involved with MLC who have worked extremely hard to make great progress in establishing Minor League Cricket ahead of its inaugural season this summer” said USA Cricket Chief Executive Iain Higgins. “It is a hugely exciting project and one we are dedicated to providing our full support to. Minor League Cricket represents the only nationwide tournament involving the best male players playing against each other on the best available facilities and therefore forms a critical part of our evolving domestic cricket structure and pathway. We are thankful to MLC for their investment and energy into making MiLC a reality and encourage all domestic male cricketers to make sure they do not miss out and sign up for the Player Registration Portal with Minor League Cricket as soon as possible. 

“USA Cricket will have a further update on the likely make-up of the full playing calendar for the 2021 season in due course, with Minor League Cricket taking its place as an integral part of that calendar so as to give all American cricketers the best possible playing opportunities.”
