Minor League Cricket considering expansion into British Columbia
Cricket Canada is headquartered in Toronto, so it’s likely that Ontario will be a major focus for expansion. However, Rahul Srinivasan, CEO of Boundaries North, stated that the Lower Mainland will also be considered.
Srinivasan admitted that the lack of available pitches will be a challenge for some places in British Columbia, but that the possibility of an MiLC team may increase the chances of that infrastructure to get built. He said many American MiLC markets used a hybrid wicket, which created a less-capital intensive pitch. But the investments need to be made at the private or public level to make it possible. The Abbotsford teams in the BCMCL play at Exhibition Park. Other BCMCL teams’ home venues include: Coquitlam’s Mackie Park, Kelowna’s Parkinson Recreation Area, Vancouver’s Connaught Park, Richmond’s Minoru Park and Vancouver’s Hugo Ray Park.
Srinivasan added that he believes a community like Abbotsford could really rally around the identity of a minor league team and noted that one of the MiLC’s biggest success stories is in Morrisville, North Carolina. He added that the MiLC is also looking at markets such as Victoria, Kamloops and Kelowna.
