USA captain Aaron Jones reflects on the team's T20 World Cup journey, aiming for a final win against England.
After his side’s loss to West Indies in their Super Eights T20 World Cup clash, USA skipper Aaron Jones said that the team’s campaign has opened the eyes of people worldwide towards the associate cricket and expressed a desire to end the things on high with a victory against defending champions England.
USA will be taking on England in its final Super Eights T20 World Cup clash. After two losses to West Indies and South Africa, the World Cup debutants will not be able to qualify for the next stage of the competition, but have surely won the hearts of cricket fans worldwide with their qualification to Super Eights, which includes a win over former T20 WC champion Pakistan and closely-fought games against 2007 T20 WC champions India and South Africa.
Following the loss, Aaron said that the game against England is important and for him, every game in the US jersey is important. He also talked about how the US’s debut World Cup campaign has been an eye-opener for many.
“I think the game against England is important. For me personally, every time I put on a US jersey, I want to win the game, regardless of who we are playing against.
“I think over the last couple of weeks, starting from winning the series against Bangladesh, it really and truly opened the eyes of everybody in the world, not only for US cricket, but associate cricket in general.”
“And then obviously moving on to beating Pakistan in the World Cup, and then having a close game against India and then a close game against South Africa. People know that associate cricket is on the rise I would say,” he concluded his point.
Speaking on his side’s final game, Aaron said that he does not feel pressure because nobody expected them to come this far in this competition.
