Women squad of 22 announced

USA's squad as a reserve player for the two T20s against Pakistan last year. Most of the uncapped players were identified through the recent ICC Combines conducted in the spring, with the bulk of players appearing in either New York or San Francisco. The squad of 22 will be divided into USA Red and USA Blue, and an intra-squad match will be held in Philadelphia on September 9. Each team will then play Twenty20s against the touring MCC side on September 10 before USA's best XI will be picked to play against the MCC for another T20 on September 11. Those not making the cut for the MCC game will then play a friendly against a Haverford College XI. 'We are keen to reward some of the women who were able to come to the Combines and show their commitment and ability,' USA chairman of selectors Ricardo Powell said in a press release announcing the squad. 'However we understand not everyone was able to make the Combine so [we] have included some talented players who have plenty to contribute to the women's game in the USA. This squad is a development squad, we know there are other women and young players across the country that the selectors would also like to see in the future.' The squad will be coached by former USA men's player Anand Tummala. The 37-year-old was shortlisted as a finalist for the USA men's coaching job in July along with former Nepal coach Pubudu Dassanayake. No decision has been made yet regarding the men's job.
