  • A new Major League Cricket franchise team will launch in 2027 with direct investment from New Zealand Cricket (NZC). Terms have been agreed between NZC and a US-based consortium True North Sports Ventures (TNS) in what will be an unprecedented overseas franchise investment for a national governing body. A statement from NZC said they will provide "high-performance and operational support" to the MLC franchise "including coaching, management, and support staff, as well as integrating the franchise into NZC's domestic high-performance ecosystem".

Major League Cricket (MLC) has announced a significant investment in New Zealand Cricket (NZC) to foster the growth of cricket in the United States and enhance the global cricket ecosystem. This partnership aims to leverage NZC's expertise in player development and high-performance programs to benefit MLC's initiatives. The investment will also support the development of cricket infrastructure and grassroots programs in the U.S., with the goal of expanding the sport's reach and popularity. This collaboration is seen as a strategic move to strengthen cricket's presence in North America and contribute to the sport's international growth.
