Twenty one players from Canada, USA, Bermuda and Suriname have been shortlisted to play for an ICC Americas regional team that will take part in West Indies' Nagico Super50 tournament next January. All 21 men have been fast-tracked into phase two of a trial organised the Americas regional office in Indianapolis this September.
Aside from the 21 players invited to phase two, ICC Americas high performance consultant Tom Evans said close to 300 applications have been received from the Americas region to participate in phase one of the trial, which begins on September 18 in Indianapolis.
Headlining the fast-tracked list is USA's Steven Taylor, who opened the batting for Barbados Tridents in the Caribbean Premier League final against T&T Red Steel. Other USA players tabbed were Fahad Babar, the ICC Americas Division One T20 MVP and Timil Patel, who finished the group stage of the World T20 Qualifier tied for third with 10 wickets.
