USA name squad for the T20 World Cup 2024; no place for Unmukt Chand

No Unmukt Chand in USA's T20 World Cup squad

As the excitement builds for the T20 World Cup 2024, co-hosts USA have revealed their squad for the highly anticipated tournament set to commence on June 1. The announcement came today, outlining a mix of experienced campaigners and promising talents set to represent the nation on the global stage.

Monank Patel to continue captaincy, Aaron Jones named deputy

Monank Patel has retained his position as captain of the USA squad for the T20 World Cup, with Aaron Jones appointed as his deputy. Patel’s leadership and experience will be crucial for the team’s performance in the tournament.

Corey Anderson’s notable inclusion

One of the most significant inclusions in the USA squad is that of Corey Anderson. The former New Zealand all-rounder brings a wealth of international experience, having represented the Blackcaps in previous editions of the T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup. Anderson’s addition adds depth and skill to the USA lineup.

Unmukt Chand omitted

In a somewhat expected move, former India U19 star Unmukt Chand did not secure a place in the USA squad. Chand’s absence from recent T20I series against Canada hinted at his exclusion from the World Cup squad, signaling a shift in the team’s strategy.

In an official statement, USA Cricket’s selection panel affirmed their confidence in the chosen squad, emphasizing their readiness for the upcoming challenge. The squad will also face Bangladesh in a series of T20Is in Houston, Texas, ahead of the World Cup, providing crucial preparation opportunities.
