As a cricket enthusiast who has grown up embracing the charm of the sport, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of the world's first daily podcast dedicated to Major League and American cricket. This debut is set to amplify the narratives surrounding the 2024 Major League Cricket season.
Major League Cricket, a professional T20 cricket league, has been a hotbed of exhilarating cricket action in the United States since its inception in 2023. With six teams representing major US cities, the league has quickly gained traction among cricket fans across the country.
The second season of the tournament is due to kick off on July 5th, just four days after the concluding matches of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. The matches are scheduled to be held at two iconic locations - Grand Prairie Stadium, Texas, and Church Street Park, North Carolina.
The US Cricket Daily podcast, generously sponsored by Clyde Hill Publishing, is set to deliver 20 episodes packed with expert analysis, guest appearances from the cricket and entertainment industry, and a format that appeals to both new and seasoned fans.
Leading the podcast will be esteemed journalist and broadcaster, Peter Della Penna, backed by Aaman Patel, a rising star in cricket broadcasting. This dynamic duo is sure to bring a fresh and engaging perspective to the podcast, which is a co-production between Square Cut Productions and Viral Tribe Entertainment.
John Ryley, co-founder of Square Cut, shared his excitement about T20's entry into America, noting that the electrifying matches, spectacle, and stunning athletic performances promise to escalate the popularity of the sport over the next decade.
The ultimate goal of the podcast is to encapsulate the essence of the T20 game and bring fans closer to the action, the players, and the stories that make each moment memorable. It's about building a community and igniting a passion for cricket among a new generation of American fans.
Jon O'Donnell, CEO of Viral Tribe Entertainment, chimed in, expressing delight over the collaboration with Square Cut on this exciting project, their first venture targeting the US market.
As Gregory Shaw, Founder and author at Clyde Hill Publishing, rightly put it, "Cricket is emerging as one of the most exciting sports in America because it draws on what makes the country itself so exciting — it is a melting pot of talent and ambition."
US Cricket Daily is all set to launch on July 5th, promising to keep fans informed, entertained, and fostering a new community of cricket lovers in the US.
As a cricket lover and entrepreneur, I am thrilled about this launch and look forward to tuning in to the first episode of the US Cricket Daily podcast. This venture promises to be a game-changer in how we consume cricket content, and I am certain it will strike a chord with both new and seasoned fans alike. Let's welcome this new era of cricket coverage with open arms.
