Cricket World Cup Debuts in New York's Nassau County

The ICC T20 tournament brings international cricket to a new U.S. venue, aiming to boost the sport's profile in America.

Eight World Cup matches, including the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan game, will be held at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
The 34,000-seat temporary stadium in Eisenhower Park was constructed in just 106 days at a cost of $30 million.
Cricket's popularity in the U.S. has been growing, largely driven by immigrants from cricket-loving nations.
South Africa and Sri Lanka will face off in the opening Group D match, with both teams aiming to overcome past World Cup disappointments.
Security measures are heightened for the tournament, especially for high-profile matches.
