We are thrilled to see 28 of our most promising young athletes selected to represent the USA across two competitive teams. This tournament not only provides vital international exposure but also serves as a key stepping stone toward the ICC Americas Qualifiers in August, where we aim to showcase our growing strength in youth cricket.”

We wish our rising stars the very best in the tournament and look forward to watching them compete with pride and passion on the regional stage.”

The Rising Stars Championship is a key development platform for emerging talent in the region and offers USA’s next generation of cricketers a chance to showcase their skills in a competitive international setting.

USA Cricket would like to thank Cricket West Indies for the continued collaboration and opportunity to participate in this important tournament, which plays a vital role in the pathway to the future of USA Cricket and its representation in the country.
