🏏Cricket is having a moment in the U.S. 🏆 #thinkoutloud #CricketUSA

Sure, pickleball has been a topic of chatter for recent years, but is there a new sport of the moment? Across the U.S., cricket is gaining steam.

In June, the U.S. national cricket team defeated Pakistan during a match at the Men’s T20 World Cup. It was a stunning upset and impressive victory for Team USA’s first appearance at the World Cup cricket tournament, which was played on U.S. soil for the first time, a reflection of the sport’s growing popularity here.

“Think Out Loud” host Dave Miller spoke to Srini Ramakrishna, the secretary and treasurer of the Portland Metro Open Cricket League, at OPB's Gert Boyle Studio on what the growing popularity of the sport means for the PNW and the U.S.
