On Friday, the USA finalized its 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
Corey Anderson is set to make history by representing the second nation in the prestigious tournament, having previously played for New Zealand.
Anderson, who boasts experience from both the ODI and T20 formats with New Zealand, will now don the colors of the USA, aiming to make a mark in the 2024 T20 World Cup scheduled for June.
This selection places him among a select group of cricketers to have represented multiple teams at the global event.
Leading the charge for the USA squad will be 31-year-old wicket-keeper batter Monank Patel, supported by vice-captain Aaron Jones.
The team comprises a blend of seasoned campaigners and emerging talents, including players who showcased their skills in the recent successful T20I series against Canada, which the USA won convincingly with a 4-0 scoreline.
A boost to the team’s bowling arsenal comes in the form of Ali Khan, whose recovery from a hamstring injury ensures his availability for the competition.
Khan, known for his pace and variations, brings invaluable experience gained from various domestic leagues worldwide and is prominently featured in the official T20 World Cup anthem film clip.
The squad also features well-established names such as opener Steven Taylor, who leads the USA in international cricket runs, and Saurabh Netravalkar, the most capped player.
Additionally, the inclusion of off-spinner Milind Kumar, who made his debut in the recent series against Canada, adds depth to the team’s bowling options.
