USA alongside West Indies are co-hosts of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup that begins June 1.
The home side will be entering the prestigious tournament on the back of a confidence-boosting series win against Bangladesh, a Test playing nation. USA defeated Bangladesh in the first two games of the three-match T20I series and then lost the last match after resting their key players.
Led by Monank Patel, the co-hosts will depend heavily on few of their big names to carry them forward in the tournament. Stevan Taylor and Aaron Jones alongside skipper Patel are the big guns in batting while the bowling will be led by Ali Khan, whose exploits in the Caribbean Premier League helped him get picked by Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2020 IPL Auction.
Playing a World Cup for the first time, USA have been placed in Group A with India, Pakistan, Ireland and Canada.
