Episode 4: Is the Cricket World Cup really the World Cup?

We're back! We attended the Major League Cricket (MLC) final in Oakland this July and recap the final-over drama, the fan experience, and our observations from the ground. We then turn to team USA's international calendar and the qualification process for the 2027 ODI World Cup. It leads us to ponder some broader questions about the sport... can MLC move beyond its "traveling circus" model? Is the T20 World Cup quietly replacing the ODI version as the sport's main trophy? And why is the World Cup qualification process so convoluted and gate-kept? Finally, we look north of the border to Canada's Super60 domestic league (men's and women's) and imagine what the future of pan-North American cricket might look like.
