Hurricane damage causes MLC postponement

The much-touted Major League Cricket Interstate Cricket Tournament which was due to be held next week in Florida has been postponed because of the destruction caused by Hurricane Wilma. The event will now start on November 30.

The decision came after talks between MLC officials and Broward County officials. The local authorities explained that all their resource was committed to the local clean-up and that staging the festival was not really an option against that backdrop.

Parag Harolikar, the MLC operations manager, said that while the news was disappointing, it would allow "all the teams to better prepare for the tournament and for better chemistry among team members."
