The tournament is a collaboration between CCUSA and the US Hall of Fame. After the tournament is completed the Hall will host their 2021 Hall of Fame dinner that will take place on Embassy Suites in Boca Raton on October 2.
Chairman of CCUSA Mahammad Qureshi told News925 that a decision has been taken to lower the age limit for two players, so that each team can bring in two players who are 45 overs or older. The rest of the team will have to be 50 years or older.
