Perot Jain expands cricket footprint with US Cricket sponsorship
Perot Jain, a Dallas-based venture capital and private equity firm, has announced its sponsorship of the United States Men’s National Team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which will be held in India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8.
The sponsorship reflects Perot Jain’s long-standing belief in cricket’s growth potential in the United States and its commitment to strengthening the sport’s ecosystem, from grassroots development to elite international competition.
The United States will compete in Group A alongside India, Pakistan, the Netherlands and Namibia. The team opened its campaign against India today at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
ICC Americas Regional Development Manager Fara Gosi said the partnership marked an important vote of confidence in the national side. “The team’s participation at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is a significant achievement, reflecting exceptional performance and resilience amid challenging circumstances. This sponsorship demonstrates Perot Jain’s confidence in the team’s ability to compete at the highest level of international T20 cricket,” Gosi said.
Perot Jain is a co-owner of Major League Cricket (MLC) and the Texas Super Kings franchise and has played a central role in expanding cricket’s footprint in North Texas and beyond. MLC recorded record attendance during the 2025 season, including a third consecutive sell-out for its Championship Final.
Anurag Jain said the sponsorship reflects the firm’s support for the US Men’s National Team as it competes internationally. “Competing in the World Cup validates how far this team has come and helps accelerate the growth of cricket across the United States," he added.
The firm’s investments in cricket have also delivered economic impact in North Texas. Developments linked to MLC, including the construction of the country’s first professional cricket stadium in Grand Prairie, have generated jobs and boosted local hospitality, tourism and vendor activity. Recent estimates suggest cricket-related development in the region has contributed hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity.
