The USA is a strategically important market and these venues give us an excellent opportunity to make a statement in the world’s biggest sport market.”

”We are very excited about the opportunity to use modular stadium technology to present world class cricket in a location that has not previously hosted an ICC global event giving USA cricket fans the chance to watch the world’s best on their doorstep,” he added.
