‘The moment has finally arrived’: Local cricket advocate looks to build off excitement after big U.S. win
The USA cricket team has just had what many are calling a historic win in the men’s ICC T20 cricket world cup. They beat Pakistan in a super over, tiebreaker win by 5 runs.
It was a win few if any would’ve predicted against a global cricket powerhouse.
Masaood Yunus, president of the Minnesota Cricket Association, says the win marks for him that the moment for cricket in the U.S. “has finally arrived.”
“What soccer did about 30, 40 years ago when the soccer world cup was brought into the United States, it basically spurred the development and growth of the game like nothing else. And we think this is a similar kind of environment and moment.”
