Former IPL President Lalit Modi raised doubts about cricket growth in the United States as he remembered a conversation with the legend of the West Indies Chris gayle. Modi stated that Gayle described the atmosphere in the Cricket of the Texas League as “deaths” without superstar players such as Kohli and Ms. Dhoni.
The International Cricket Council hosted some 2024 T20 World Cup matches in the United States, but the attendance was modest, except for the India Games. Above all, the United States Cricket Association launched the Cricket of the Major League in 2023 and the League continues to face challenges to attract large crowds.
Chris Gayle said, “My brother, is dead” – Lalit Modi
Talking to the cricket podcast beyond 23 with the former Captain of Australia Michael ClarkeLalit Modi said that the stadiums were empty during the Cricket of the League major last year. Modi added that the cricket is unlikely to grow in America in the near future.
Your daily dose of cricket!
“They look cricket from the important league. You just called my friend Chris Gayle.” Chris, I see you in Texas. What is the atmosphere like? “He said,” My brother is dead. “
“There was no one at the stadium. They believe that the cricket that goes to the Olympic Games is going to feed in America. It does not pass now, this decade, the next decade, the next 50 years,” he added.
They all want to spend money to see Kohli and Mrs. Dhoni – Lalit Modi
Lalit Modi stated that cricket fans in the United States are unlikely to spend money watching unknown players. Added that viewers are willing to spend money to see stars like Kohli turned, Ms woman, Michael Clarke and Brett Lee.
“I am a business expert sitting in any part of the world of America, San Francisco, Los Angeles. I will see someone who was called Singh Touching against Dushyant Singh. Against Lalit Singh,” Modi stated.
“I have never heard them talk. All I want is to look and spend my money to see Kohli.
Indian cricketers cannot play T20 leagues outside India due to the rules established by the BCCI and the IPL governing body. They can only represent their franchises in the Indian Premier League. Players can participate in foreign leagues after their retirement from the Indian cricket.
When India played Pakistan in New York, the stadium was complete – Lalit Modi
The former IPL president emphasized that Cricket fans are attracted to high -profile games and star players. Stated that India-Pakistan The Games in New York attracted crowds, but other local games and leagues did not gain attention.
“Now, India Pakistan was playing in New York. We filled the stadium. Someone filled some other World Cup stadium that had just passed to America?
“Does anyone see local leagues anywhere? No. Now people see star players. If there are no stars, there are no Indian stars, why the Indian expatriate population or the Commonwealth population will see the Cricket of the Major League?” he said.
