Summary
In the 2015 50-overs World Cup, Anderson was part of the New Zealand team who lost to Australia in the final and also played two T20 World Cups for them.
USA Cricket announced that former New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson will be part of the United States squad for the T20 World Cup in June. In the 2015 50-overs World Cup, Anderson was part of the New Zealand team that lost to Australia in the final and also played two T20 World Cups for them.
The 33-year-old last played for New Zealand in 2018 and debuted for his adopted country in the home T20 series against Canada last month. The tournament co-hosts have retained wicketkeeper-batter Monank Patel as captain of the 15-member squad.
The same team will play three T20 Internationals against Bangladesh in Houston before taking on Canada in the June 1 World Cup opener in Dallas.
USA squad: Monank Patel (captain), Aaron Jones (vice-captain), Steven Taylor, Corey Anderson, Saurabh Netravalkar, Jessy Singh, Harmeet Singh, Noshtush Kenjige, Shadley Van Schalkwyk, Nitish Kumar, Andries Gous, Shayan Jahangir, Ali Khan, Nisarg Patel, Milind Kumar
India has never won the T20 World Cup since lifting the title in the maiden edition in 2007. This time around, the selectors have mixed things up by adding the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube to add firepower to the batting unit.
On the wicketkeeper’s selection for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar said, “KL (Rahul) is a terrific player…The thing we were looking at is guys who bat in the middle. At the moment, KL is batting at the top…We feel Sanju (Samson) can come down the order if need be, Rishabh is batting at 5 for Delhi (Capitals).”
