New stadium brings hope for the cricket's future in the US

Cricket is set to return to the Olympics in 2028.

Construction has begun on a new 10,000-seat stadium in Pomona, California, which will serve as the venue for men’s and women’s cricket.

This marks a significant milestone for cricket in the U.S., aiming to capture a mainstream American audience.

Despite challenges, including management issues within USA Cricket, investors remain optimistic.

They view the stadium as a springboard for cricket's future in the U.S., offering a chance to engage new fans.

Local cricket fans, players and coaches hope this new-found visibility will help carve out new pathways for homegrown talent.
