The US will host matches between the Indian sides that compete in the Twenty20 competition by next year, according to vice-president of the BCCI Lalit Modi.
“We hope to be able to provide the fans in the US the live experience of the IPL,” he said. “We will start with a few matches in the US in the next 18 months or so.”
It is estimated that the US has 30,000 amateur cricketers and the USA Cricket Association claims that there are 15 million American cricket fans.
