Corey Anderson, one of the most experienced T20 players in the world, is excited about the 2023 Sunoco Minor League Cricket Championship. The New Zealand all-rounder explained that the tournament is important for the future of American cricket.

“This summer will be the greatest advance in American cricket history. Can't wait to play minor league cricket in July. It's really important to the future of American cricket that we continue to develop talent with the Sunoco Minor League Cricket Championship following the MLC in August and September," Anderson said.

Minor League Cricket (MiLC) also announced that Sunoco will be the title sponsor for the third season of the largest T20 national championship in American cricket. Additionally, Laxmi, one of America's premier South Asian food brands, joins as an Official Partner of the 2023 Minor League Cricket Championship.

The Sunoco Minor League cricket championship will return this summer, with around 150 matches scheduled to take place in August and September. The national player draft takes place in May and is part of the selection process that sees more than 400 US-based players from 26 teams enter the tournament. Draft date and full game schedule will be released shortly.

Speaking of the partnerships, Anderson said, “The support of the MiLC team owners and partners, including Sunoco and Laxmi, makes this pipeline possible. A year on from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup being held here, the kind of competition we now have in the United States is building a platform for talent that we believe will surprise the cricket world in the future."

America's first national T20 championship was won by the Seattle Thunderbolts in their sophomore season in August 2022, with the Pacific Northwest team claiming a $150,000 first-place prize by defeating the Atlanta Fire in the finals .
