The USA Cricket Association has announced the squad for the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier and World Cricket League Division 5 tournaments in Dubai, UAE and Nepal.
Guyanese dominate the squad which will be captained by former Guyana under-19 all-rounder Steve Massiah and includes veteran former Guyana first-class players Sudesh Dhaniram, Lennox Cush and pacer Kevin Darlington.
Former Essequibo youth batsman Clain Williams, who was treated very harshly when he should have easily made the Guyana under-19 team, now resides in the USA and is also in the team.
In Dubai, USA will have practice sessions at the Sharjah Stadium on February 4 and 5, before a practice match at the Abu Dhabi Stadium on February 6. Another practice session is

The squad will leave Dubai for Nepal on February 14 and have three days of practice, before participating in World Cricket League round-robin matches from February 20 to 27. They will leave Nepal two days later for the journey back home, arriving in New York on March 1.
This is one of the first times that the USA will have its men’s senior team and its Under-19 squad participating in back-to-back international tournaments outside of the USA. The USA Under-19 squad is currently in New Zealand preparing to participate in the ICC Under-19 World Cup and is expected to return home at the end of this month.
USA Squad: Steve Massiah (Capt.), Timroy Allen, Imran Awan, Orlando Baker, Lennox Cush, Kevin Darlington, Sudesh Dhaniram, Glen Hall, Rashard Marshall, Sushil Nadkarni, Usman Shuja, Aditya Thyagarajan, Saurabh Verma, Clain Williams and Carl Wright.
