🇺🇸 The Road to the World Cup: USA's Journey
Team USA's presence in this cycle of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 marks a new chapter in American cricket. Following a historic run in the 2024 T20 World Cup—where they famously defeated Pakistan and reached the Super 8s—the team is now focused on the One Day International (ODI) format.

Now, they must navigate a grueling multi-year schedule of tri-series events to secure a top-three finish and a direct ticket to the World Cup Qualifier.
