New Jersey is home to 4 major cricket leagues, Cricket League of New Jersey (CLNJ), Millennium Cricket League (MCL), Garden State Cricket League (GSCL), & The New Jersey Cricket Association (NJCA).Some might say that having too many cricket leagues may dilute the talent pool etc. but I say why not use this to our advantage and have our own “Champions League” or may I dare say “League of Champions” ;)
Imagine a small tournament in which the 40 over champions from all the 4 leagues compete to be called the best club in NJ. I believe that if something of this nature may take place it will only help us to promote the game in our state and help us to identify the cricketing talent that NJ has to offer. I understand that USACA has these so called “inter-league tournaments” every year which is supposed to serve the same purpose as I mentioned above, but let’s face it, USACA has done nothing in the past and doesn’t appear to be doing anything in the future for except a few leagues and individuals.
It is about time that we as a state take matter into our own hands and all the 4 major NJ leagues come together to showcase our talent via organizing such a grand tournament. I am sure that we have plenty of resources on and off the field that we can utilize and execute a great & successful “League of Champions”
