The 2012 USACA Twenty20 Nationals, which were scheduled for January 20-22 in Florida, have been postponed. The decision was relayed to regional administrators in an email from USACA General Manager Manaf Mohamed late Wednesday night. The decision comes just 19 days after USACA announced its tournament calendar for 2012 with the Twenty20 tournament the first one on the slate.

“In order to better prepare for the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier Tournament in Dubai in March, USACA 2012 T20 Tournament originally scheduled for Jan 20 to 22, has been re-scheduled to a date to be announced later,” Mohamed wrote. “This will facilitate the holding of a training camp to short list 18 players for selection to the National team. A list of players invited to the camp will be announced shortly.”

According to a source, at least seven players expected to represent the South West Region team had already bought plane tickets to Fort Lauderdale for the weekend of January 20-22, while at least one member of the North West Region touring party had his plane ticket booked as well.

In 2011, each of USACA’s six originally scheduled domestic tournaments wound up with altered dates or locations, or were postponed or outright canceled.
