Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for hybrid cloud organizations, today announced its sponsorship of the MI New York, the defending champions of Major League Cricket (MLC). 

Anna Griffin, Chief Market Officer at Commvault, shared her excitement: “Sponsoring the MI New York cricket team is Commvault’s opportunity to support one of the most dynamic and fast-growing sports in the world. It’s a no-brainer! This partnership not only allows us to engage with cricket fans but also reinforces our dedication to fostering community and resilience. We're excited to share the Commvault spirit and support the MI New York team on their journey. We’re thrilled to connect with cricket fans and bring the Commvault spirit to the pitch.”

Cricket fans get ready to join Commvault in supporting the MI New York team! Look for the Commvault logo on jerseys, stadium signage, and across TV and social media platforms. Commvault’s sponsorship will feature exciting opportunities to engage with fans, including exclusive watch parties, contests, and cricket clinics with professional players. Fans, partners, and customers will also have the chance to join these events in Dallas and Morrisville stadiums and help fuel our connection with the cricket community. Additionally, as part of our commitment to community engagement, tickets in both locations may be offered to local charitable initiatives, ensuring that more people can experience the excitement of the game!

“MI New York is excited to team up with Commvault. This partnership is a testament to the growing appeal of cricket in the U.S. and reflects our shared commitment to excellence and developing the cricket ecosystem in America,” MI New York said in a statement. “Together, we aim to bring the excitement of cricket to new audiences and demonstrate the importance of resilience both on and off the field. We look forward to a successful season and a partnership that brings fans closer to the action.”

Cricket is the second most watched sport globally, with over 2.5 billion fans. As cricket's popularity surges in the United States, Commvault's collaboration with MI New York aims to bring the thrill of the game to a broader, more diverse audience and serves as an opportunity to educate an untapped global fanbase about the importance of resilience – critical knowledge that is applicable to both personal and professional life, whether on the pitch or in a Commvault Cleanroom defending against cyber attacks.

Let's get together in welcoming them onboard, and keep the energy up as we aim to defend our MLC crown with the season starting on July 5, 2024!
