Are there any americans who play cricket and does usa have a team?

Question

ive always wanted to know if anyone from the usa actually plays cricket seriously and do they have a team

Answer 1

The USA does indeed have a team. The first ever international cricket match was played between USA and Canada in 1868.

The following link will give you detailed information on cricket in the USA:

As you will see, the USA has a long and rich cricket heritage, going back to the 1700's (about the same time it was becoming popular in India).

They are viewed as an emerging nation. At present they have no famous players, but who knows, with the appeal of Twenty20 cricket, the game could really take off in the States.

Answer 2

Yes Americans (mostly ethnic groups from sub-continent

Asia, Caribbean, UK, Aus, NZ) born or raised or living play

the game. Hardly do we see any other Americans playing the

game.I have seen them at times watching the game and as

expected keep asking questions and hardly do they try to

understand or get them confused. Currently US Cricket

association is banned by ICC for not following the directives.

IMHO, collectively this association is nothing but run by few

bureaucrats with no hope to return to normalcy. This can only

be changed by young adults and youth to lead in a different

direction. Until this happens, few people play the game for

fun. Hardly there is any development other than few

individuals taking pride and running their own team. Having

said that - if any US representatives are being played it is

all due to show cause and I have nothing to ashamed of to

say they are not international competitive. Club wise they are

OK, in other words they suck.

Answer 3

Yes USA does have a cricket team,infact we could see them in the next world cup.

Answer 4

USA has a cricket team for sure. If you recall, they competed in the 2004 ICC Champs Trophy in England.

Answer 5

Yes USA has a cricket team. But most of the players are either from West Indies or India

Answer 6

I saw an episode of 'Monk' the other night and his shrink was wearing cricket gear.
