The USA Cricket Association announced on Tuesday that its 2014 National
Championship will be broadcast live on ESPN3. The tournament is
scheduled be to played in the Twenty20 format from August 21-24 at a new facility
scheduled to be opened this summer in Indianapolis, Indiana. It will be
the first USACA National Tournament involving teams from the eight
USACA Regions since 2011. It will be the first time that USACA will have
live broadcast coverage for one of its domestic tournaments.
"2014 will be an exciting year for US cricket and the agreement with
ESPN3 is a positive start. The US cricketing scene will receive a boost
by not only having the chance to play on the brand new Worlds Sports
Park in Indianapolis including a new turf pitch, but to follow the
lead-up to the Championships starting in May," said Darren Beazley, CEO,
USACA. "By working closely with ESPN3, we hope that the Finals on
August 24 will draw a significant audience across a number of
platforms."
The motives maybe right but the players themselves are too old in the teams to promote youth. Big dahl bellys running around puffing and gasping for breath thinking they are Rohan Kanhai will not be pleasant viewing to the American public.
ReplyDeleteThe USA cricket team should change name to United Nations Aliens CC. Only one player in the entire squad is American born, the rest of them born elsewhere and managed to gain an international cricketer status and uniform here as they could not cut it in there own country.
ReplyDeleteYou got 40 year olds playing for the USA team. There must be something wrong here with the selection policy.
