With both experienced and up-and-coming players, the Strikers have put together a strong team. Colin Munro, Thisara Perera (Captain), Isuru Udana, Carlos Brathwaite, Kennar Lewis, and Brandon McMullen are among the legendary names on the team. They will be playing alongside players like Angelo Perera, Chanderpaul Hemraj, Mitchell Owen, Ansh Patel, Mati Ullah Khan, Kendel Fleming, Troy Taylor, Akshay Naidoo, Alessandro Morris, Akhilesh R Bodugum, and Davion Codner.
“We are excited about the tournament and the lineup we have assembled this season,” said New York Strikers owner Sagar Khanna, expressing his excitement for the impending competition. We are excited to take on the Caribbean Tigers and entertain the crowd with a fantastic performance.
The New York Strikers’ commitment to introducing cricket to additional regions of the world is further demonstrated by their participation in Max 60. We are excited for the thrilling cricket matches that lie ahead.”
Thisara Perera remarked of the opening game, “60 ball cricket is rapidly changing the way people view cricket.” People like shorter formats, and some of the more explosive players now have the option to play with complete freedom. Leading and representing the New York Strikers in a competition like this offers me the chance to grow and learn from new experiences. I think the matchup between our team and the Caribbean Tigers, who have a powerful batting lineup, will be thrilling.”
