Two of the City’s most accomplished cricketers will be competing in this year’s event: Keifer Phill (High School for Construction) and Randall Wilson (John Adams High School), who were both recently selected to compete on the USA National Under-19 Team. The United States of America Cricket Association (USACA) donated jerseys to the participating athletes and coaches in this year’s event.
