The USA Cricket Team has qualified for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, and this news has spread joy among the cricket fans across the world, as it will be the first time that USA Cricket Team will participate in the ICC T20 World Cup.
Earlier, we reported that USA being the host of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 along with West Indies, and this has given them an automatic qualification for the most prestigious T20 tournament in the world.
The moment this news came out, we started looking for more stories about the USA Cricket Team and found a beautiful tweet from their skipper Saurabh Netravalkar.
Saurabh Netravalkar represented India U19 team and played the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai, before moving to the United States of America. He made his debut for the USA Cricket Team in 2018 and he was named their skipper for the first in 2019, for the series against United Arab Emirates.
Saurabh Netravalkar has played 11 ODI matches for the United States so far, and it is likely that he will lead his side in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, on their own soil.
When we were looking for more information on Saurabh, we found a beautiful tweet that he wrote for Pravin Tambe. Tambe as we know is a very special cricketer who holds the record for the oldest player to make a debut in the Indian Premier League. He made his debut at the age of 41 and went on to become a star for Rajasthan Royals.
Pravin Tambe’s story is special because he had never played any professional cricket before getting picked by Rajasthan Royals.
Saurabh Netravalkar wrote a beautiful message for Pravin Tambe after watching his biopic ‘Kaun Pravin Tambe’ (Who is Pravin Tambe?) and mentioned that he feels very fortunate to have played alongside the veteran Mumbai cricketer.
Feeling inspired: “Kaun Pravin Tambe”!
Very fortunate to have played alongside you @legytambe PT da, and to have shared dressing room in your debut Ranji Season which was also my debut season as well!
Big salute to your journey!@usacricket @MiLCricket #KaunPravinTambe
