The promoters of the first professional US Twenty20 league will begin the tender process for the six inaugural franchises later this month, according to ESPNcricinfo.

The league – staged by Cricket Holdings America (CHA), a joint venture headed by the USA Cricket Association and New Zealand Cricket – is likely to be held in June and July 2013 with reports suggesting the matches will be played in New York and San Francisco.

The CHA has also declared ambitions for the USA to apply and secure hosting rights for future ICC events, including the ICC World Twenty20 within the next 10 years.

"To supplement the UST20 League and the international program there will be a series of All-Star matches each year that will allow international superstars to play alongside and against emerging local talent and the best the United States can offer," said CHA's website.
