United States of America (USA) have named their squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifiers. What has been the main highlight is that they have left out experienced campaigner Corey Anderson from the team for the mega event.

Corey Anderson, who represented New Zealand in international cricket, moved to the USA in 2020 and after playing domestic cricket there, he became eligible to play for the national team earlier this year. It was expected that he would be there in the team, considering his experience and the kind of player he is. But the selectors didn’t consider the one who was part of Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL ) and held the record of the fastest hundred in ODI cricket.

Coming to the USA’s squad, the team will be captained by Monank Patel with Aaron Jones being his deputy. The team is pretty similar to what was on the field for the recent series against Namibia. Samit Patil, who played for India A and India U19, also made the cut into the squad whereas the USA also picked left-arm fast bowler Abhishek Paradkar as the 15th member of their squad.

Here’s USA Squad for the World Cup Qualifiers:

Monank Patel (c), Aaron Jones (vc), Steven Taylor, Gajanand Singh, Sai Teja Mukkamalla, Saurabh Netravalkar, Nisarg Patel, Kyle Phillip, Jasdeep Singh, Nosthush Kenjige, Usman Rafiq, Abhishek Paradkar, Ali Khan, Shayan Jahangir, Sushant Modani.

The tournament will begin on 18th June with the final set to take place on 9th July. The USA will open their campaign against West Indies on June 18. A total of 10 teams will take part in the competition and the top two teams will advance to India for the main event.
