Many were surprised
Many were surprised when the ICC announced in 2021 that America and West Indies were hosting the 2024 t20 World Cup. America does not have the necessary facilities to play cricket. At least the team there does not have strong first class cricket. If ever cricket is played there..compared to other countries very few people know about that country..but the governing body of cricket in America is applying for conducting the T20 World Cup..ICC is approving it..building cricket grounds on a war footing in America..recently The developments like the American team winning the series in three T20s against the Bangladesh team with one match left have become interesting. ICC has taken this decision for reasons such as expanding cricket.. creating new markets.. including cricket in events like Olympics.. Cricket analysts say that all countries will play cricket in the future. They remind that the International Olympic Committee decided to include T20 cricket in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles in a meeting held in October last year in Mumbai.
250 crore people are watching
250 crore people are watching cricket in the world.. 34 crore people follow Virat Kohli, the player of Team India who has created other possible records in modern cricket. Virat Kohli is the third most followed sportsperson in the world. Virat Kohli has more fan following than Lee Braun James, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods.

44 lakhs has crossed
In America, the number of people of Indian descent has crossed 44 lakhs in 2020-21. The number of people of South Asian descent in America is increasing. Due to this, interest in cricket is increasing in that country. In this background, ICC has increased the number of cricket matches in America. Earlier it also offered associate membership. As a part of this, ICC has decided to organize the T20 World Cup in America. Moreover, it seems that ICC is making plans to create America as a new market for cricket. Caribbean cricketers believe that if the popularity of cricket in America increases through the T20 World Cup, it will benefit West Indies players and cricket there. USA Cricket's independent director Parag Marate and former ICC CEO Ian Siggins played a key role behind America hosting the T20 World Cup.
When there was a British colony..
Cricket started in America when it was a British colony. At that time cricket was also played in America as it is played by many countries now. Because America was not under British rule.. this sport did not spread. Moreover, this sport was seen only as a game for the rich. A sport like baseball became more popular during the American Civil War. At that time, cricket was played for five days.. Because of this, the sport did not gain much popularity in America. Over two decades, cricket has undergone radical changes and the advent of T20 cricket has brought a remarkable recognition to the sport. Grand Fairy Stadium in Texas, Central Broward Park in Florida and New York will be the venues for the T20 World Cup matches in America. sports analysts say that despite the development of cricket at this level, it may take a long time to become popular in America.
