Unmukt Chand To Play For USA: Indian cricketer Unmukt Chand, who made the Indian team win the Under-19 World Cup, will now play cricket for the USA team. He will be able to start his new innings in March 2024. He has completed all the rules required to play for the USA team. Now if he gets a place in the USA squad in the T20 World Cup 2024, then he will be seen playing in front of India. India and USA are included in the same group in the T20 World Cup.
Unmukt Chand is currently 30 years old. 12 years ago he made the Indian team champion in the Under-19 World Cup. He was the captain of the Indian team in the World Cup held in 2012. He won this trophy for India by playing a memorable captaincy inning of 111 runs against Australia in the final match. After this, he has also played cricket for India's Under-23 team and India-A. Even in IPL, he was included in the teams of Delhi, Rajasthan and Mumbai.
Unmukt Chand has also played a lot of domestic cricket in India. He used to play for Delhi team. However, the way he performed in the Under-19 World Cup, he could not perform regularly in domestic cricket or IPL. This was the reason why he never got a call from Team India. Ultimately, Unmukt retired from cricket in India and ended all agreements with BCCI and started playing abroad. Now he plays in the T20 franchise leagues of Australia, Bangladesh and USA.
Unmukt Chand has not made his international debut yet. But now he has a big chance. After completing the mandatory stay in America for 10-10 months in 3 years, the doors have opened for him for the USA team. He will be considered eligible to play international matches for this team from March. Probably he is certain to play in the T20 World Cup squad as well. This is because Unmukt is a good T20 player and USA currently does not have many good options compared to him.
Will the competition be interesting?
It will be interesting if Unmukt is included in the USA T20 squad in the T20 World Cup. The Indian team will face USA on June 12. In such a situation, Unmukt Chand will get a chance to play against his old team and old teammates. Let us tell you that Unmukt has already said that ever since he left Indian cricket, he wishes to play against India.
