Many top local cricketers have found themselves on different teams for the upcoming US Open
T20 cricket tournament which offers a first prize of US$100,000.
The US Cricket Open is the annual open-formatted cricket tournament sponsored by Cricket
Council USA (CCUSA).
It is scheduled to bowl off on December 4, with the finals carded for December 7. All matches will
be played at the Broward County cricket ground in Lauderhill, Florida, which is the only
International Cricket Council (ICC) approved ground in North America. The picturesque venue
was used for the West Indies versus New Zealand T20 series in 2012.
Organisers have revealed that West Indies leg-spinner Samuel Badree will be making the trip to
play for one of the teams. Badree starred at the same venue when the West Indies played New
Zealand and actually made his debut for the regional team there.
Also flying across is T&T and Guyana Amazon Warriors all-rounder Navin Stewart. He will be
playing on a team assembled by owner of the tournament Mohammed Ahmed Queshi
