The Minor League Cricket is a professional cricket tournament played in the United States of America (USA). The league acts as a stepping stone for players to be promoted to the Major League Cricket (MLC). One thing which sets the tournament apart is that it comprises 26 teams, divided between the Atlantic and Pacific conference. The teams are divided into these two conferences, which are furthermore split into two divisions.
The teams from each division used to play anywhere between 14 to 16 games in the league stage. Post the group stage, the top two teams from every group qualify for the quarter-finals. But now, the league structure has been changed in 2023. Each team plays a maximum of 10 group stage games. The top team in the group stage will advance into the Super 8s, and the next two teams will go into the knockouts.
The divisions are divided into Western, Eastern, Southern and Northern divisions. This tournament plays a major role in the American cricket infrastructure, which is on the rise since the last few years. However, with players like Shakib Al-Hasan being drafted into the mix, it surely indicates a lot of growth for the league.
