India's U-19 World Cup-winning team member and former Mumbai left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh, who shifted to USA for better opportunities, reckons USA will play a big role in developing cricket globally. Harmeet, 30, who will be representing Seattle Orcas in the inaugural Major League Cricket (MLC), beginning on July 13, felt the new league will be a big boost for cricketers.

“There is a big market for sports in the USA. If MLC gets good success, then I think the USA will play a big role in developing cricket globally. If they [organisers] have good administrative support and vision, it will be a big boost for cricket worldwide,” Harmeet told mid-day.com from Seattle on Sunday.
