All Stars Team for Aug 28 Sundar Memorial Event named !
In December 2008 one of the most important announcements in USA cricket history was made, when it was announced that there would be an American College Cricket Championship in March 2009. Appropriately the announcement was made on Facebook.
August 28, 2010 another momentous announcement will be made that will thrill young cricket fans all over the USA and Canada, and even other parts of the world. American College Cricket VP Nino DiLoreto will be flying in from Florida for the event. Lloyd Jodah lives in NYC.
But first, on that Saturday an American College Cricket All Star team will play in the 18th Annual Sundar Memorial Event. The other 3 teams are drawn from the best Under 19 and other young players in NY,CT & NJ – including Andy Mohammed (TCI), Kaveshwar Bridgepaul, Shaan Mehta (GWU), Chad Munroe (UConn). The Sundar Event has been held every year by Ray Sundar to honor his late father, and it has been one of the most notable events on the NY cricket calendar each year.
Last year the 2009 National Champions Montgomery College played against an American College Cricket All Stars XI .That night the Team were honored at the Bollywood Divas Nite Show featuring movie stars from India, Koena Mitra, Tanushree Dutta, Preeti Jhiangiani, Rakhi Sawant and Mahalakhsmi Iyer.
