17 players have been selected to represent their country in this first-ever World Cup for cricketers over the age of 60. Players and officials from 9 different states across America make up the touring party that could play up to 8 matches down under. USA Cricket believes it is fantastic to have a team representing the United States of America on a global stage down in Australia and USA Cricket would like to wish all of the players and everyone involved in the trip the very best of luck in the tournament.
