(Reuters) -New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said on Wednesday it has agreed terms with American company True North Sports Ventures (TNS) to launch a new Major League Cricket (MLC) franchise that will debut in the 2027 season.
NZC said it would be a "first-of-its-kind agreement" between a full member of the International Cricket Council and a franchise of a professional cricket league, with TNS looking at Toronto and Atlanta among other cities to base the franchise.
