Aditya said,
When you think about what American College Cricket (ACC) has done for Cricket in America – its massively impressive. American College Cricket has provided a platform for over a 100 universities across America and Canada to compete on a high level . n fact, the current USA National team captain Saurabh Netravalkar (former India U-19) first played for Cornell and later the American College Cricket USA team.
The upcoming tour to England will mark the first time an American College Cricket team will be traveling outside North America and it only adds to the impact that they have had on the growth and development of cricket in America. The team will gauge their skill against some top English university teams in June 2020. I am super excited to see how this will unfold.
