Formation of a USA National Cricket Team…

Former Guyana Youth batsman Dominique Rikhi, who commenced his cricketing career as a member of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) in Region 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne), has now earned selection to the national cricket camp of the United States of America in Houston, Texas.
Rikhi has been a prolific figure for the Liberty Cricket Club of Richmond Hill, USA, having scored over 2200 runs across all formats of the game in the 2019 season.

Meanwhile, USA Cricket has been pleased to announce the new panel of national selectors for the USA Men’s National Team. After a review of the role, structure and composition of the National Selection Panel towards the end of last year, USA Cricket invited applications for the roles of national selector. All applications were carefully considered, and following a comprehensive process, five selectors were appointed to the panel, with two of them (Michael Voss and Amer Afzaluddin) continuing in the role to ensure some steadiness.
The five persons appointed to the National Selection Panel are: Michael Voss, as Chair (2 years); Amer Afzaluddin (2 years), Orlando Baker (3 years), Clayton Lambert (3 years), and Niraj Patel (3 years).
These new selectors have already been busy convening meetings to select a squad of players who would be attending a talent camp to be held at the Prairie View Cricket Complex in Houston from March 6 to March 8. The talent camp, which would feature 26 players, would be run with the following twin objectives, as explained by
new Chairman of the Selection Panel, Michael Voss: “The talent camp in Houston has been specifically designed to give the selectors the best possible options ahead of the crucial ICC Cricket World Cup League series next month in Fort Lauderdale.
“On this occasion, it is an invitation-only camp, where we have invited a group of players for whom the primary purpose will be to spend three days together working on fitness, fielding skills, and match-specific scenarios.”
In related matters, the recruitment process for the next men’s head coach is nearing completion. Following an exhaustive search that has uncovered a number of outstanding candidates, the preferred candidate, former first class Ranji Trophy and IPL player and coach, Jagadeesh Arunkumar, has been invited to the USA to meet with USA Cricket officials for further discussions about the potential for him to assume a permanent position with USA Cricket.
Players who have been invited to, and are attending, the talent camp are: Abhiram Valisamagari, Abhishek Paradkar, Ali Sheikh, Aman Patel, Dominique Rikhi, Fahad Babar, Gayan Fernando, Jasdeep Singh, Jaskaran Malhotra, Josh Dascombe, Kyle Phillip, Majjid Zubair, Rahul Jariwala, Raymond Ramrattan, Ruchir Joshi, Sachin Asokan, Sagar Patel, Saideep Ganesh, Sanil Navar, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Sanjay Stanley, Shashank Vittaldevaram, Sunny Sohal, Usman Ashraf, Usman Rafiq and Vatsal Vaghela.
