Noor Praises Rising Standard of Cricket in the USA
Now in his second season with MLC, Noor is enjoying his time in the United States — both on and off the field. Speaking to TimesofIndia.com, he shared his thoughts on the league’s growth and the overall cricketing environment in the US:
“The level of cricket here is very good. Very good local players, very good international players. It’s always a good competition. I’m enjoying it.”
