Dallas, June 1: In a historic moment for cricket in North America, the USA is set to make its debut in the T20 World Cup against Canada on Sunday at 10.30 AM AEST (6:00 AM IST). As both teams prepare to showcase their skills in the expanded 20-team competition, there is considerable pressure on the USA, the tournament co-hosts alongside the West Indies, to make a strong impression on home soil.
Vice-captain Aaron Jones emphasised the team’s commitment to playing a “fearless” and dynamic style of cricket.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Jones underscored the importance of attacking play, stating, “Fearless cricket, positive cricket, smart cricket. I think that’s what we’re really and truly trying to do.”
“We don’t want to regret anything. We want to leave everything out there in the park.
And then, obviously, if we come out on top, it’s great. If we don’t come out on top, that’s how cricket goes sometimes. But we don’t want to regret anything,” he added.
This debut is not just about cricket but also about representing the sport to an American audience that is largely unfamiliar with it.
The USA and Canada are in a challenging group alongside cricket powerhouses India and Pakistan, who are favourites to advance to the Super Eight stage. (IANS)
