Houston Hurricanes (cricket)
The Houston Hurricanes are an American professional Twenty20 cricket team based in the Greater Houston area that competes in Minor League Cricket (MiLC). It was formed in 2020 as part of 24 original teams to compete in MiLC. The franchise is owned by Tanweer Ahmed and Mangesh Chaudhari.
The team's home ground is Prairie View Cricket Complex, located in Prairie View, Texas. Usman Rafiq was named as captain, while Willem Ludick was named as vice-captain for the team.
The current leading run-scorer is Willem Ludick, with the highest wicket-taker being Karthik Gattepalli.
Talks of an American Twenty20 league started in November 2018 just before USA Cricket became the new governing body of cricket in the United States. In May 2021, USA Cricket announced they had accepted a bid by American Cricket Enterprises (ACE) for a US$1 billion investment covering the league and other investments benefitting the U.S. national teams.
In an Annual General Meeting on February 21, 2020, it was announced that USA Cricket was planning to launch Major League Cricket in 2021 and Minor League Cricket that summer, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and due to the lack of high-quality cricket stadiums in the USA. Major League Cricket was pushed to a summer-2023 launch and Minor League Cricket was pushed back to July 31, 2021.
USA Cricket CEO Iain Higgins pointed out cities such as New York City, Houston and Los Angeles with a large cricket fanbase, and targeted them among others as launch cities for Minor League Cricket.
In July 2020, the player registration for the Minor League Cricket exhibition league began. On August 15, 2020, USA Cricket announced the teams participating in the exhibition league matches, also listing the owners for each team. The draft for the exhibition league began on August 22, 2020, with the Houston Hurricanes releasing their squad on August 24. Usman Rafiq was later named as captain for the Houston Hurricanes in the exhibition league.
The exhibition matches kicked off on September 12, with the Houston Hurricanes losing their first match to the Irving Mustangs by 75 runs. The Houston Hurricanes then went on to concede 3 wins and 2 losses, placing 3rd throughout the exhibition league in the Central Division.
