On May 3 2024, the co-hosts USA also announced their squad, which has players from different parts of the world joining the team and representing them in the ICC event. Indian-born Monank Patel will be leading the team, and he is not the only player of Indian origin; there are a number of others. Here we will talk about all the Indian-origin players in the USA squad for the coming event.
Born May 1, 1993, in Anand, Gujarat, Monank was born into a businessman family. His family migrated to the USA, where he started his cricketing journey.
