By some estimates, there are about 200,000 cricket players in the United States, playing in more than 150 leagues. Most of these players are expats who continue to follow their passion. Capturing the attention of the average American sports fan remains cricket’s biggest challenge, and the star power of Cricket All Stars was expected to create a big buzz for the sport.
