ICC Americas announced the fixtures for the Pepsi ICC Americas Division 1 Championships which will take place from 3 to 10 May in Indianapolis, USA.  USA, Bermuda, Canada and Suriname will compete for the top two spots in the tournament.  The matches will be played at World Sports Park, Indianapolis.  

Suriname hosted a visiting MCC team in March, Bermuda traveled to Jamaica in April and Canada will play three T20 games against SmartChoice USA in Houston towards the end of April to prepare for the tournament.  Owing to the cancellation of USA's preparatory tour to Jamaica, USA players are playing in their respective leagues prior to arriving in Indianapolis.  

The top 2 ranked teams in this tournament will be promoted to the 2015 ICC World T20 Qualifiers (for the 2016 ICC World T20), to be held in Ireland and Scotland from July 9 – August 11 2015.
