Cricket: Australia will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign with a match against Oman on June 6.
Aussie T20 World Cup preparations begin | 00:58The USA make their debut in the T20 World Cup against Canada on Sunday and vice-captain Aaron Jones says they are determined to play a ‘fearless’ brand of cricket.
“We don’t want to regret anything. We want to leave everything out there on the park. And then, obviously, if we come out on top, it’s great. If we don’t come out on top, that’s how cricket goes sometimes. But we don’t want to regret anything,” he added. But however the results turn out, it is a landmark moment for the USA team to be in an elite competition after decades of being stuck in minor tournaments.
He acknowledges that the team has the added responsibility of being ambassadors for the sport when they play games in Texas, Florida and New York. Curiously, the first ever international cricket match was played between the USA and Canada in 1844 in New York and there were a multitude of clubs, particularly in Philadelphia and New York.
