American Pro Cricket today announced that its playing Headquarters will be the Smart Choice Moosa Stadium in Houston,Texas.

The announcement came following Lloyd Jodah’s trip to Houston, for the American College Cricket South West Championship. Lloyd is the Founder & President of American College Cricket since 2008, and is now also Founder & President of the newly established American Pro Cricket.

In Houston Lloyd met with Sakhi Muhammad, President & CEO of Smart Choice Auto Group & owner of Smart Choice Sports Club, who is the owner & developer of Smart Choice Moosa Stadium. Lloyd stated,

“The hospitality was tremendous. Sakhi, his brother Shaz and longtime American College Cricket manager Amir Sadiqque were wonderful hosts.

Waking up and looking out the window at the Moosa Stadium field was a truly unique and dreamlike experience. As a boy I lived less than 100 yards from a Test venue but this is the first time ever I’ve had the pleasure of waking up at a cricket field (I stayed in a mobile home)! Already its a First Class field and pitch and Smart Choice’s plans for the entire complex will make it a premiere venue for not just American cricket but world cricket.
American College Cricket is happy to contribute to that vision by holding the South West Regionals there, and bringing the ACC World Cup later in 2015, and of course Smart Choice Moosa Stadium has already been designated as an American College Cricket Home field.”

The land is being prepared for 3 other turf fields immediately adjacent, plus a youth field for the International youth cricket academy. The structure for 4 covered nets is already built and will allow practice to continue even with rain. The dressing rooms, BBQ area, VIP area are being worked on and a kids play area and bleachers will be added. An office building will be constructed and there is lots of space for parking – after all its Texas !

The field itself is very large, and will accommodate the longest boundaries with room to spare. The American College Cricket players loved the pitch and outfield which facilitated their ground strokes, and were ecstatic that they’ll play Home & Away matches there through the school year.

“I’ll continue to be based in NYC but American Pro Cricket’s office will be at Smart Choice Moosa Stadium, and it will be where most of our tournaments will be held. It will be the logical location for camps we, or our teams may hold.” Lloyd added.
