The U.S. cricket team is winning of fans with a strong run through the T20 World Cup. Organizers hope it helps build momentum for the 2028 Olympics.
Three months before the start of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, USA Cricket drastically shifted the program’s direction ahead of the most important tournament in U.S. men’s cricket history, where they would serve as co-host. USA Cricket ousted chairman Michael Voss and his entire selection committee amid allegations of unfair player selection policies. An influx of youth followed, led by 34-year-old Los Angeles-born Ravi Timbawala, a former U.S. national player and active cricketer.
He credited the team's chemistry and cohesion as key to their success. “It is very heartening to see how the team is doing. Everyone is rallying behind each other, playing as a unit,” Timbawala said. During the selection process, the committee was keen on picking players who believed in the team's potential for success, Timbawala said.
