National Cricket League to open its headquarters in Dallas.

The new National Cricket League is expected to begin with six inaugural teams, including one in Dallas.

It will introduce the 60-strikes format of cricket to the United States with shorter, faster-paced games.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson accepted that professional sports add strength to the community, generate excitement, foster pride, and bring economic benefits.

The mayor said, “In 2022, sporting events in Dallas produced more than $647 million in economic impact for the city, supported more than 4,000 jobs, and generated more than $16 million in local tax revenue.”

The NCL is currently looking for stadium locations in Dallas.

The local team will mark its cricket debut at a tournament in Florida in December.

This is the second pro cricket team in North Texas.

The Texas Super Kings of Major League Cricket play in Grand Prairie.
