“The US Masters T10 is a superb way of taking cricket to USA in a bigger way. The fans here are very passionate, and I can’t wait for the tournament to get started in August. It will be nothing short of a carnival of cricket and I would like to invite everyone to come and enjoy it. Our team owners are really passionate about the sport and that is seen in the way they have built this franchise and given us a lot of freedom. We hope to be able to put on a great show for everyone,” said Misbah-ul-Haq.

“We are delighted to be part of the US Masters T10. Cricket is a sport we have followed passionately over the years and we want USA to become one of the biggest destinations for the sport. We would love to see the sport grow by leaps and bounds in the USA, but before that we want to go out and win the hearts of the fans and of course the tournament,” said Preet Kamal, Co-Owner, New York Warriors.
