Team USA are in The House. 

As we continue to gather momentum for the Over 50's Cricket World Cup In Cape Town, the 14 nations are locking in their combinations. 

In this episode we will be joined by our first skipper! 

Parak Ananta will represent & captain the Masters Cricket USA team in South Africa at the World Cup. Parak shares with us more details about his star-studded squad who are coming off the back of a successful Caribbean Cup which included teams from England, UAE, Canada, Wales, India & the West Indies.  

As a teenager in India, Parak showed great cricket skills in India, when at aged 14, he was selected for a team captained by former Indian skipper Muhammad Azharuddin who played 99 tests. 

Parak chose a different career and moved to England and then the USA. He continued to operate on his cricketing skills and has an insatiable appetite to see the USA bring together a very competitive outfit for the World Cup. That's no surprise. The powerful sporting country loves winning.
