What is the format of Major League Cricket 2023?
The competition will start with a round-robin format, with sides playing against each other. The top four teams will qualify for the playoffs, which will include the Eliminator, Qualifier, Challenger and the Final.
Every team can include a maximum of 19 and a minimum of 16 players on its squad. To help promote cricket in the USA and develop future generations of American players, each roster will need to have one domestic Under-23 rookie player.
On its complete roster, each team may have nine international players. However, along with five domestic players, no more than six players will be allowed in the playing XI.
