(London, 25th June 2024) - The world’s first podcast dedicated to Major League and American cricket is set to launch, covering the 2024 Major League Cricket season.
The podcast, titled "US Cricket Daily," is a co-production between Square Cut Productions and Viral Tribe Entertainment.
Major League Cricket (MLC) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league played in the United States since 2023, with six teams representing major US cities. The second season of the MLC tournament will begin on July 5, 2024, just four days after the conclusion of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. The matches will be played in Grand Prairie Stadium, Texas, and Church Street Park, North Carolina.
The Twenty20 Cricket format is the fastest growing sports format in the world with 388 million* cricket fans worldwide (source: Navigate Research), a number that is now set to soar following the incredibly positive reaction in the US after the World Cup.
The US Cricket Daily podcast will deliver 20 episodes during the 2024 Major League Cricket season, which takes place from July 5 to July 14, 2024. The show will feature expert analysis on the day's play, plus guests from the cricket and entertainment worlds, creating a highly relatable format to satisfy both new and die- hard fans.
The show will be hosted by acclaimed journalist and broadcaster Peter Della Penna, with support on the ground from Aaman Patel, widely regarded as one of the most promising young broadcasters in cricket.
The podcast series will be sponsored by Clyde Hill Publishing whose new book on The Rise of Major League Cricket in America is available for pre-order at clydehillpublishing.com.
Cricket has well and truly landed in the US, and now, with the US Cricket Daily podcast, fans will be informed and entertained throughout the MLC 2024 tournament.
John Ryley, co-founder of Square Cut says: "T20's entry into America feels like a long overdue moment - the excitement, razzmatazz, and amazing sporting feats will see the game grow over the next decade. This podcast aims to capture the spirit of that T20 game and bring fans closer to the action, the players, and the stories behind the moments. By mixing expert analysis, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes access, we hope to create a unique experience that not only informs but also entertains. It's about building a community and sparking a love for cricket in a new generation of fans."
Jon O’Donnell, chief executive of Viral Tribe Entertainment says: “We’re delighted to be collaborating with the team at Square Cut on this incredibly exciting project, and our first venture directly aimed at the US market. Major League Cricket in America looks set to skyrocket post the T20 World Cup so we can’t wait to unleash this show to a highly engaged audience, and build a whole new community of cricket fans in the US.”
Gregory Shaw, Founder and author at Clyde Hill Publishing says: “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. In the last century, baseball and cricket attracted large crowds in the U.S., and thanks to the MLC, cricket is again filling American stadiums. This podcast will keep fans informed, and train new ones.”
US Cricket Daily launches on July 5th, 2024.
