SAN FRANCISCO, CA

The action in the Cognizant Major League Cricket Cognizant kicks off on July 4th with some of the world’s best players set to participate in the high-octane T20 tournament. Furthermore,

the second season of the tournament will receive support from the social casino and online gaming brand Stake through their new, multi-year partnership.

The collaboration between MLC and Stake will help enhance the overall experience, engaging cricket fans with innovative, exciting contests. Stake will sponsor the MVP of the Tournament award,

which was won last year by MINY captain Nicholas Pooran led by his 137 not out from 55 balls with ten fours and 13 sixes in the Championship Final.

Akhil Sarin, Chief Marketing Officer for Stake, said, “We thoroughly enjoyed MLC’s inaugural season in 2023 and jumped at the chance to become an Official Partner for 2024 and beyond.

With the T20 World Cup taking place on US soil later in the year, we see this as a breakout year for cricket in the US and can’t wait to be a part of it.”

“MLC is thrilled to welcome Stake as an official partner to help support the growth of the league and the game of cricket in America,” said Vijay Srinivasan, co-founder, Major League Cricket. “We’re excited to be partnering with a renowned company that supports many global sports properties.”

All six teams who competed in MLC’s historic inaugural season will feature again in 2024. Returning superstar players already announced to compete include Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan (MI New York),

South Africans Faf du Plessis (Texas Super Kings), Marco Jansen (Washington Freedom) and Quinton de Kock (Seattle Orcas), Pakistan’s Haris Rauf (San Francisco Unicorns) and Sunil Narine (LA Knight Riders) of the West Indies. More details on the 2024 season will be announced soon.
