Wikipedia - American Premier League
The American Premier League (APL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league based in the United States. The first league was scheduled to take place between 6 October and 24 October 2009, which was later postponed. The management revamped the brand in 2020 and went through the official launch during the spring of 2021. The teams were named after cricket spectators spread across the United States (Indians, Paks, Windies, Afghans, Aussies, Canadians, and Americans).
History
In 2009 APL announced an imminent three-year deal with minor league club the Staten Island Yankees who own the venue. The league had planned to play twice a year at baseball's Richmond County Bank Ballpark. Besides renowned staff and players, six teams were expected to take part in the first event: Premium Pakistan, Premium India, Premium Bengal, Premium West Indies, Premium World and Premium America, but the event did not materialise.
In 2009 the ICC announced support for the creation of a Twenty20 cricket competition in the US to compete against the APL, and in December 2010 the board of the United States of America Cricket Association that it had signed a $10 million deal with New Zealand Cricket and other investors as stakeholders, creating a new body called Cricket Holdings America to manage all commercial rights for cricket in USA, including Twenty20 rights, in perpetuity.
No American Premier League matches were played in 2010. In 2011 no further matches were announced and the venture appeared defunct.
Controversy
The American Premier League established contact with the USA Cricket Association, but had not submitted a formal approval. In 2009 the International Cricket Council (ICC) halt national players to participate until further release instructions and approval.
Hvert hold spiller 10 kampe i den indledende fase af turneringen, og de fire bedste hold kvalificerer sig til slutspillet. Slutspillet består af to semifinaler og en finale, hvor vinderen krones som American Premier League-mester.
Ligaen har til formål at fremme væksten af cricket i USA og give lokale spillere en platform til at konkurrere på professionelt niveau. Den tiltrækker også internationale stjernespillere, hvilket øger kvaliteten og spændingen i turneringen.
American Premier League spilles i et hurtigt tempo og byder på masser af spænding og underholdning. Kampene afholdes på moderne stadioner rundt om i USA, og der er stor tilskuerinteresse til denne voksende sport.
