Major League Cricket is moving its headquarters to a Dallas suburb from San Francisco as it seeks to build a US following for one of the world’s most popular sports.
This year’s playoffs and championship game will also be held at Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, the league said Thursday. The venue, located about 15 miles from downtown Dallas, is already home to one of the league’s six teams: the Texas Super Kings, which are co-owned by the Indian Premier League’s Chennai Super Kings, billionaire Ross Perot Jr. and Dallas businessman Anurag Jain.
