Loading

Following a rigorous schedule of talent identification combines hosted in eight cities across the country, a group of 39 players has been invited by the Selection Panel to attend the final men’s selection camp in Houston.

The second half of 2018 marks another exciting time for USA Cricket, with an eye firmly set on the World Cricket League Championship and World T20 qualification, with this camp shaping as a fantastic opportunity for these players to push their case to be included in those plans. All players invited to Houston have demonstrated the requisite skills, work ethic, and a commitment to the selection process and the desired player traits as outlined in the USA Cricket Selection Policy.

In acknowledgement of the tremendous talent observed at the youth level around the country, six youth have been invited to attend the camp commencing today. Having these talented youngsters work with the national coaches and alongside the full men’s squad will be hugely beneficial as they look to graduate and earn representative honors in the coming years. While many youth impressed at the combines, which has everyone excited for the future of USA Cricket, the six youth invited showed various skills that the Selection Panel were eager to see in this final stage.
