As a new dawn is about to arrive in United States cricket, the immediate target is to build a keen rivalry against the neighbouring West Indies.
This was the comment made by International Cricket Council (ICC) USA Project officer Eric Parthen during a town hall meeting in Fort Lauderdale earlier this month. According to Parthen :”We need to put United States cricket on the right footing so that we can fight the bigger countries in the sport and draw attention to the game here. It would be wonderful to develop a keen rivalry against the West Indies, who are neighbouring to us. Imagine having a battle between these two teams and the amount of attention that would create here amongst the people.”
