Major League Cricket (MLC) is coming to the United States, in 2023, featuring 6 teams in major U.S. markets. In preparation for next year, the league was in need of cricket pitch covers. They were familiar with cricket covers from overseas, but Silicon Valley Cricket in California had recently purchased raincovers from COVERMASTER®.

MLC was impressed with COVERMASTER® RAINCOVER ULTRA™ and purchased ten cricket covers, to be distributed to the teams in the league. These will provide protection for all of their cricket pitches, as well as the main bowling and batting areas. By using COVERMASTER® exclusive SHIELD-TEK™ coating technology, these raincovers help keep the turf cooler and drier. The weave count of RAINCOVER ULTRA™ provides the industry’s strongest core, that’s designed to handle and remove hundreds of pounds of water from the Raincover’s surface.

All this and RAINCOVER ULTRA™ is much lighter than other available cricket pitch covers making it easier to handle and store which in turn, saves labor time and costs. So, when rain comes down on these professional cricket games in 2023, MLC teams can relax knowing that their cricket pitches will be well covered by the ultimate in COVERMASTER® pitch cover protection.
