NEW DELHI: As the U.S. prepares to co-host the Twenty20 World Cup, its cricket team presents a fitting microcosm of the country's diversity. The 15-man squad features players born in India, Pakistan, New Zealand, and South Africa, alongside home-grown talent from places like Queens, New York, and Hialeah, Florida.
This eclectic mix reflects the formative stage of U.S. cricket, bolstered by the emergence of Major League Cricket (MLC). The squad combines international players attracted by the MLC and local athletes seizing the opportunity to play professionally on home soil.
