Please encourage your team families to attend the matches, please bring your children – boys and girls. If members of your club can provide volunteer support at the Tournament, please contact the Mich-CA Secretary or the Mich-CA Youth Coordinator – we still need more volunteers.
The future of American cricket is dependent on the participation of both boys and girls in our sport, please do what you can to support youth cricket. This squad includes players born in the United States who have been members of Mich-CA clubs since they were twelve; they have played for our league and our region; they have made a major commitment to cricket despite the challenges of playing here and the abundant sporting alternatives. Please do everything you can to support them.
