We will arrange food and lodging for players and invited Guests. There will be a Saturday night Banquet with lots of food and fun focusing on the development of cricket in the United States. Each team’s spokesperson would take the stage to talk about their vision of cricket for future generations. Trophy presentations for Man of the Matches and Service recognitions will be done. Depending on the venue, the event may be a mix of Music, Dance, (and possibly alcohol) and Fun to celebrate our friendship and Cricket. Players’ families are also invited for Saturday night’s banquet. While we will provide accommodation for players, family lodgings will be your own responsibility.
