The 2023 Major League Cricket (MLC) is set to commence from July 14 to 31, taking place at two venues in the United States. The star-studded league will feature renowned players such as Rashid Khan, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Marcus Stoinis, and Aaron Finch, among others, in its inaugural edition.
One of the six participating teams in the MLC is the Texas Super Kings (TSK), co-owned by the prominent Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The franchise has assembled an impressive lineup of overseas players for the upcoming T20 tournament.

Ambati Rayudu, the Indian cricketer who recently retired from all forms of Indian cricket after the IPL 2023 final, is set to represent TSK in the MLC. The 37-year-old will join forces with New Zealand players and his CSK teammates Devon Conway and Mitchell Santner. Rayudu’s inclusion in the MLC marks him as the first Indian player to participate in the league after representing the national team.
The TSK squad also boasts the talents of Dwayne Bravo, David Miller, Daniel Sams, and Gerald Coetzee as part of their overseas contingent. Interestingly, Bravo retired from the IPL before the 2023 season and has taken up the role of bowling coach for the MS Dhoni-led CSK team. The TSK side will be guided by Stephen Fleming, who serves as the head coach for both Super Kings in the IPL and the MLC.
