The USA cricket team, fueled by a diverse squad of players with roots in India, Pakistan, and the West Indies, has defied expectations at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Led by standout performers like Saurabh Netravalkar and Ali Khan, the team’s success is a testament to the power of second chances and the enduring spirit of the American dream.
The United States has unveiled its 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, featuring a strong contingent of players with Indian heritage. Monank Patel, a Gujarat-born wicketkeeper-batter, will captain the team, while Mumbai-born left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar will be a key player. Patel, who previously represented Gujarat at the Under-16 and Under-19 levels, has been a mainstay in the US team since his debut in 2018. Netravalkar, who has previously played for India in the U-19 World Cup, has been juggling his cricket career with his job at US tech company Oracle. Other Indian-origin players in the squad include Harmeet Singh, Jessy Singh, Milind Kumar, Nisarg Patel, and Noshtush Kenjige.
