USA Cricketer

Saratoga resident in unique position as U.S. cricket team vies for World Cup spot

Imran Khan, Manager of the USA Cricket team gets some press in San Francisco ahead of USA's world cup T20 campaign.

"No matter how far Imran Khan Suddahazai travels, the sport of cricket always finds him.

It did just that when he moved to Saratoga about four years ago. Although a lifelong cricket player — who as a youth had hopes of going pro in his home country of England — Khan had no intention of sticking with the sport when he made a new life in the Bay Area.

But he came across a posting on the Internet from the California Cricket Academy in Cupertino asking for volunteer umpires for its youth program. Khan said he'd be willing to help out. But what was supposed to be a one-shot deal turned into a yearlong coaching gig."
