A source close to USACA, in confirming the list stated that Rahul Kukreti’s name would be removed from the list, because the player is currently serving a one year suspension handed down by the USACA board of directors at a recent board meeting held in Indianapolis, Indiana. The source added, “The list does not represent the total group of players from which the squad for the ICC’s February tournaments would be selected,” adding that USACA’s senior men’s selection committee would be looking at other players as well, for consideration.

Already the buzz in some cricketing circles is that some of the older players identified should not be considered for selection, because of their ages, and the opportunity should be afforded some of the younger up and coming stars in the USA. Newyorkcricket.com is keeping a close eye on the selection process and will bring our viewers updates from time to time, or when USACA confirms the final squad selected.
