USACA’s senior men’s tournaments have been scheduled to take place on the same weekend on opposite coasts as both the Eastern and Western Conference Tournaments will be played from September 17-19, according to USACA VP of Operations Manaf Mohamed.

Just like the USA Cricket Junior Nationals, USACA has decided to play both events on the same weekend, perhaps limiting the opportunities for selectors to see all the players which would have been possible if the tournaments took place on separate weekends.

The Western Conference will take place in Los Angeles while the Eastern Conference will be played in Atlanta. The top two teams in each conference will then move on to the USACA National Championship, which is currently set to take place November 12-14 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., although the dates have yet to be confirmed.

The tournaments will provide a good opportunity for some of the domestic talent to put their hands up and push for selection for a spot on the USA senior team that may potentially play in ICC World Cricket League Division 3 in Hong Kong next January, provided USA qualifies for that event with a top two finish at ICC WCL Division 4 which is currently taking place in Bologna, Italy. USA won its first match by 10 wickets over Tanzania on Sunday and will go up against Cayman Islands on Tuesday.
