"CHA hopes for the league to grow to as many as 10 franchises by 2016. The first season, reports suggest, will be played primarily in New York and San Francisco. New York has thriving West Indian and South Asian immigrant populations, particularly in Brooklyn and Queens, while the San Francisco Bay Area includes Silicon Valley, where thousands of South Asians have immigrated over the years for work in the software and technology industries."

"In order to avoid clashing with the international cricket calendar, the USA Twenty20 league would most likely get underway after the conclusion of the ICC Champions Trophy, which runs from June 6-23 in England. The 2013 Ashes Series follows, which means that top international stars from Australia and England would be unavailable but players from other countries might be tempted by the prospect of coming to play in America."

Bally, Googley, WestDem, Arnik...are you guys tempted by this?

Exactly...it sounded so stupid to me that Florida was left out, but I wanted you guys to say it....

This competition sounds like it's going to crash and burn, like that joke of a T20 tournament in Sri Lanka.
