Major League Cricket moves headquarters to Grand Prairie and announces USA women's match

Under the bright lights of Grand Prairie's city hall, excitement buzzed through the air as officials gathered for a press conference that promised to elevate the city's status in the world of sports. The focus was on Major League Cricket (MLC), which is set to kick off its third season in Grand Prairie, bringing with it a wave of thrilling developments for cricket fans across North Texas.

In a historic announcement, it was revealed that the USA women's cricket team will play their first international match against Zimbabwe women at the Grand Prairie Stadium. This landmark event marks a significant milestone for the city, showcasing its growing prominence in the cricketing world.

Adding to the excitement, MLC disclosed plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from San Francisco to Grand Prairie, officially making the city the home of Major League Cricket. This move is expected to further enhance the local cricket scene and solidify Grand Prairie's reputation as a key player in the sport.

The stadium will also host every game of the 2025 MLC playoffs, culminating in the championship final. This follows a successful track record, with the venue already having hosted numerous sold-out games and four matches during last summer's ICC T20 World Cup, which had a staggering economic impact of $100 million on the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Mayor of Grand Prairie expressed his pride in the community's response to cricket, sharing a touching moment when families approached him to express their gratitude. "I didn't think I'd ever be able to bring my child to a game that I grew up playing here in the States," one parent shared, highlighting the emotional connection that cricket is fostering in the community.

As the countdown to the 2025 MLC season begins on June 12, the city of Grand Prairie stands poised to embrace its role as a cricketing hub, uniting fans and families in a celebration of sport and community spirit.
