In May 2024, the ICC awarded the Major League Cricket Official List A status, making it only the second associate-run franchise competition to acquire the status from the game’s governing body.
This status means that all the records, runs, wickets and stats acquired in the MLC 2024 will now be added to the official records of the format. It also means that MLC is now an official T20 League, much like the IPL or the SA20 or Big Bash League.
American Cricket Enterprises (ACE) which operates the Major League Cricket is backed by Sameer Mehta and Vijay Srinivasan who are the founders of Willow TV, the largest cricket broadcaster in North America, and Satyan Gajwani and Vineet Jain of the Times Group in India.
