No mention of LA Knight Riders (Teams/Venue)
In the teams/venue section, just FYI I changed "LA Knight Riders" to "Hollywood Master Blasters" since according to this article on Minor League Cricket there is no mention of the LA Knight Riders.

Anyways, cheers. WellThisIsTheReaper (talk) 23:24, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

MLC wants to expand to 10 teams, not 8
I disagree with the following reversion: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Major_League_Cricket&diff=1165019080&oldid=1165003556. The source that I added (https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jul/12/major-league-cricket-preview-united-states) says that MLC wants to expand to 10 teams, so that's what the article should reflect. In addition, the sentence "Unlike Major League Football, Minor League Cricket uses privately-owned franchises." under the 'Minor League Cricket' section should not talk about 'Major League Football', but rather 'Major League Cricket'.

MLC Title Dispute
@Xp3337z, @162 etc., and to all those who it may concern: Cognizant announced that it would sign with MLC as its title sponsor. Consistent with other major tournaments in the United States who have title sponsors such as Major League Baseball (or if you wanted to be specific, the 2023 World Series) with Capital One, and even Major League Soccer to an extent. In fact, I think another important point to bring up is the fact that the title sponsor in question may not necessarily “stick around”, and may very well leave the league given a couple of years. This was seen in possibly the most direct comparison to MLC, Minor League Cricket, wherein the title sponsors varied from season to season. As such, it only makes sense to note the tournament’s title sponsor in that particular season (like at the 2024 season article) and inside the body of the larger article (in this case, MLC). Feel free to share your thoughts here! -- WellThisIs TheReaper  Grim 02:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)


 * The four major sports leagues in the United States do not have a title sponsor, merely a group of sponsors, or a tiered model. Moreover to your example, the World Series is not the competition itself, nor does Capital One represent the league. I can point it to you like this, if Capital One was the Title Sponsor of MLB, firstly, it would read as "Capital One Major League Baseball" and secondly, the World Series logo wouldn't have the Capital One logo underneath it as a presenting sponsor, the Capital One logo would appear as a tiny logo above the MLB logo. This might be a word soup, but long story short, none of the four major professional leagues in America have title sponsors. With Minor League Cricket, the naming style is already custom, there should be no problem with MLC's naming style either, as it follows suit of almost every major cricket league and other sports leagues format when it comes to formatting title sponsors on Wikipedia. Whether or not a sponsor sticks around, (see EFL Trophy) it is not a matter of whether or not a contract length comes into play. Either way, Cognizant is ever-present in the sponsorship world, but that is of other discussion.
