This latest T20 league in the USA has got the fans excited because 4 out of 6 teams have owners of the IPL franchises, and the MLC will boast of some of the biggest T20 names in the world, including Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, and Trent Boult.

This is not all: further, the MI New York has also roped in South African stars young batting sensation Dewald Brevis, quick-fire fast bowler Kagiso Rabada and veteran all-rounder David Wiese to bolster their squad.

Kieron Pollard is one of the sought-after T20 players in the world and he has immense experience in the shortest format of the game. His presence in the MLC will enthral and entertain cricket fans in the United States of America.
