Unfortunately not but I don't know where they would have them if they did.

Technically they're playing the Colosseum matches on NY wickets though

Maybe on a much smaller scale but it would still be costly.

Undoubtedly costly, but I prefer the time difference. Such is life.

Then at least you’ll appreciate the Florida matches. Same time zone.

I don't know but the league is full of internationals so it's quite good quality wise.

And? It’s in the USA, do you think that means much there?

Yanks, in general like the everything is bigger syndrome. So generally quality does not matter, that much to them.

Not necessarily, however in the case of cricket, it doesn’t rate particularly high as far as sports goes.

Cricket, has only recently become a thing in America, and soccer/football, has been around a lot more years, than Cricket, so will pull crowds easier. Having both events on during the same time frame. The soccer is going to win.

The few games of soccer I watched, have all been very well supported.
