Wikipedia - Seattle Orcas
The Seattle Orcas is an American professional Twenty20 cricket team that competes in Major League Cricket (MLC). The team plans to be based in Seattle, Washington and was announced in 2023 as one of six inaugural franchises to play in Major League Cricket. The Seattle Orcas are owned by an investor group including Satya Nadella, Soma Somasegar, Samir Bodas, Ashok Krishnamurthi, and Sanjay Parthasarathy – and the GMR Group. The Orcas have a minor league affiliate called the Seattle Thunderbolts, who play in Minor League Cricket and were the 2022 champions.
The team plans to have their home ground at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington. The park's cricket ground is set to have a capacity of up to 6,000 people once it is completed around 2025. The team is coached by former Indian cricketer Pravin Amre.
History
Background
In November 2021, the Bellevue City Council passed a resolution to support further research into the cost and feasibility for a cricket facility in Seattle. This was followed by a similar resolution that the Redmond City Council adopted in January 2022. A motion of support to develop a cricket facility in Marymoor Park was then passed by King County in February 2022. In May 2022, Major League Cricket announced that Somasegar and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella were among some of the lead investors launching Major League Cricket in the U.S.
In March 2023, MLC unveiled the team ownership, name, and logo prior to the inaugural MLC domestic draft. It was also announced that the team would partner with the GMR Group, who co-owns the Delhi Capitals of the Indian Premier League. Co-owner Somasegar stated that the Orcas name and colors "pay tribute to our local community [of Seattle] that has helped build that spirit of support". On May 27, 2023, it was revealed that the Orcas had revamped their logo to emphasize its focus on cricket.
