The USA cricket team has announced their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, with Monank Patel named as captain. Alongside Patel, Ali Khan and Shayan Jahangir have also been included in the 15-member squad. Corey Anderson, who previously played for New Zealand in the ODI and T20 World Cups, will now represent USA in the tournament as a co-host alongside the West Indies.
In recent series against Canada, Patel emerged as USA’s best batter with 120 runs in three innings, while Andries Gous, Steven Taylor, and Nitish Kumar also made significant contributions. With the ball, Harmeet Singh and Shadley Van Schalkwyk were among the wicket-takers. The selectors likely took into account Ali Khan’s experience in T20 leagues around the world and Jahangir’s playing career in Pakistan when making their decisions about the squad.
The USA team is set to play Canada in the inaugural game of the T20 World Cup on June 1st in Dallas. The squad includes a mix of experienced players like Corey Anderson and Ali Khan along with promising talents like Shayan Jahangir. The team aims to make an impact in the competition and showcase their potential on a global stage.
