• Team USA leaves for Jersey (Channel Islands)

  Team USA leaves for Jersey (Channel Islands)  Messy weather meant that there was very little time for transfers between inbound flights and the outbound flight.   Despite some tension filled moments about incoming flights getting delayed, all the cricketers reached on time and everybody boarded the flight.   They got a send-off by a small contingent of fans and supporters.   USACA secretary John Aaron was at the airport to wish them luck.   Before the team left, Steve Massiah said - "We are concentrating on playing good cricket. We had a really productive training camp down in Florida and I think we have put together a well-balanced side with some experienced players and some exciting young talent. "I am looking forward to getting over there and back into international cricket. It has been a long wait and everybody is really excited waiting for the first game." The 12 team WCL tournament begins on May 23rd.   That gives the USA team about a day to settle in.  For complete team profiles click here.
