"We are gathering the world's top players and organizing a spectacular event in the largest sporting market globally. The success of the first season has given us a foundation to establish one of the premier T20 leagues in the world, and our goal is to keep expanding the sport in the United States and offer the community an opportunity to engage with it, whether as fans or participants."
