ICC T20 World Cup: Former New Zealand fast-bowling all-rounder Corey Anderson has been included in USA’s 15-man squad for the five-match T20I series against Canada, set to be held from April 7.

Apart from Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Milind Kumar, Andries Gous, Shadley Van Schalkwyk and Nitish Kumar are the other fresh faces in the USA squad which is now building up to prepare for the Men’s T20 World Cup, where it’s the co-host alongside West Indies from June 1.

Anderson last played for New Zealand in 2018, and is now eligible to play for the USA after migrating to the country during the announcement of Major League Cricket (MLC). Since his move to USA, Anderson has amassed 900 runs in 28 innings at a strike rate of 146 in Minor League Cricket (MiLC), the developmental league for Major League Cricket (MLC), whose inaugural edition was held last year.
