Cricket event in Houston postponed
Well looking at Cricket World International’s website I see:
Due to the delay of U S visas to some of the key players, CWI has been forced to reschedule this great event. Exact date will be announced soon. We feel sorry for inconvenience to our supporters and cricket fans. We are confident that their support and good wishes will remain with us during this period. CWI assures them of its endeavor to bring top class player to this event.
I read elsewhere that they plan to reschedule for the Independence Day weekend and that just seems a little ambitious to me especially seeing how that is like 3 weeks away. I just wish the event seemed better organized and had better marketing as it stands they really aren’t doing anything to try to tap into the American market even though they state that as one of the goals, so what wil end up happening is that it will just be expatriates and whoever they can drag along that will attend and as great as that is for us expats it isn’t going to do anything to get cricket to be more widley recognised over here
