The INTERNATIONAL Cricket Council (ICC) disclosed a 34,000-seat measured arena in New York on Wednesday to organize eight matches of the current year’s T20 World Cup and the game’s overseeing body trusts the office will assist it with breaking the worthwhile games market in the US. The Nassau District International Cricket Arena in New York has been granted the blockbuster June 9 match among India and Pakistan, the competition’s most expected challenge, underlining the ICC’s perception to break into another market.
Maintainability would be a critical element of the “bleeding edge” office, ICC’s Head of Occasions Chris Tetley said during an internet based collaboration with select media.
The World Cup scene would reuse the grandstands utilized for the Recipe 1 Thousand Prix in Las Vegas, and have drop-in pitches.
Once finished, he said, it would be greater than any cricket scene in Britain and, surprisingly, greater than the Wankhede Arena in Mumbai, which facilitated the last of the 50-overs World Cup in 2011.
Tetley stated, “I think we need to do something on this scale to make an impact in a country like the United States, with the sports market it has.”
“It’s an obviously characterized target market for ICC. Obviously, it’s the biggest games market on the planet.
“It’s as of now our third greatest transmission market, and we’ve distinguished no less than 30 million cricket fans in the US.”
The US is co-facilitating the competition with West Indies and Tetley guaranteed a vital encounter for the American fans.
While a large part of the setting, including the pitches, would be removed once the World Cup was finished, the “elite office” would stay for the nearby local area to utilize, Tetley said.
With a significant part of the framework leased and not purchased, Tetley destroyed cost concerns.
“It’s safe to say that it more than pays for itself, making it a project that can be run by us without costing ICC anything,”
