The selectors have also unanimously decided to include Quasin Alfred and Imran Awan as two reserves in the event any of the above 18 players sustain injuries or could not play for other reasons. I personally like to thank all selectors for working tirelessly during the recently concluded camp and coming up with a list of 18 players, a mix of experience and youth, keeping in mind the future of US cricket, said Ahmed Jeddy.

This is a far better selection and we see lot more promising young players in this team. What we have heard that new cricket committee and selectors have done a far better job and all the players who attended the camp were pleased with the efforts. You can not make everyone happy during selection but this team shows lot of promise and I am sure they will be well prepared for the tournament in UAE. Congratulations to new Captain Sushil Nadkarni as everyone knows what a great player he is. Wish you all the best TEAM USA and a job well done by the selectors.
Good looking squad: Ghous, Mohammed, Corns Surijbally, dodson like the young talent in the team. Any reason with got a squad of 18? Best of luck to the guys? Make us proud
Do we really need Sushil Nadkarni on the 20/20 side. Decent batsman, but can not field. What happened to Bhim George, he was the most successful palyer in the last tournament.
