US. Major League Cricket.

"Test great Steve Smith is to play for Washington Freedom in the second season of Major League Cricket as the Australian influence in the American T20 competition gathers pace.

The 34-year-old Smith will link up with another batting great, coach Ricky Ponting, in the capital-based franchise after the T20 World Cup in the US, where he still hopes to represent Australia again.

It's a signing which was widely expected as Smith was named brand ambassador to Washington Freedom last year, while his state team, NSW, have a high-performance partnership with the club."

"Travis Head has become the latest big-name Australian to commit to the second season of Major League Cricket.

The dynamic left hander will represent the Washington Freedom, following on from their signing of fellow Aussie Steve Smith just a few days earlier.

The Freedom, who have a high-performance partnership with New South Wales Cricket, will be coached by batting legend Ricky Ponting."

"Queensland great Stuart Law says he's excited to be the coach chosen by USA Cricket to spearhead its historic push to make the sport a national hit over their breakthrough World Cup summer.

The 55-year-old former Australian international batter has been confirmed as head coach of the United States men's team in the year when cricket will never have had a higher profile there.

Superstar allrounder Glenn Maxwell is also set for a stint in the US following June's T20 World Cup after becoming the latest Australian to sign on for this year's Major League Cricket tournament."
