USA Cricket Vice-Captain Aaron Jones poses next to a giant cricket ball, installed at a marketplace to mark 100 days to go for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, in Miami, Florida, on Feb. 22, 2024.
But the sport has boomed in India, the world's most populous country, as well as some other former British colonies.
And now, the U.S. men's national cricket team will represent the home country in this year's International Cricket Council Men's T20 World Cup.
While traditional cricket matches can last as long as five days, a T20 match typically lasts around three hours.
The early June world cup matchups will bring some of that star power to the U.S., with a high-profile India-Pakistan competition and culminating in a U.S.-India match.
