The United States senior team will be playing in this year’s Regional Super50 tournament in the Caribbean.

The tournament, which begins on January 30 in Barbados and Antigua, has over the last two years been including invites from outside of the region to create more interest.

This year, the US will play alongside the six franchises, the Windward Islands Volcanoes, the Leeward Islands Hurricanes, the Jamaica Scorpions, The Guyana Jaguars, defending champions, the Barbados Pride, and the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, as well as the Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC).

There will also be two English County sides in Hampshire and Kent.

Last year and the season before, US players had joined others from Canada and Bermuda as part of an ICC Americas team, that was largely ineffective, winning just one game in 14.

According to USA Cricket, the results may improve if the US team plays as a country since the players are more familiar with each other than is the case when they team up with players from Canada and Bermuda.

USA Cricket also believes that playing as a single country would also have the added benefit of helping more of their players to develop.

The US have been drawn in Group B of the Regional Super50, set to bowl of in Antigua.

There they will play against the Scorpions, The Hurricanes, the Jaguars, and Kent.
