The word “Australian” in the game of cricket has given nightmares to teams and fans of almost all the teams that have played them in competitive cricket. Being the only team with five World Cups in their kitty, they have revolutionised the game. They are rated as the best team going in World cricket.
2 Australian born cricketers who have played for the USA
From time to time many stalwarts have played for Australia. They have played an instrumental role in taking the team to great heights and making them a dominant force in World cricket. However, they have put ply in some other nations as well as there have been a few players that were born in Australia and then went on to represent the other nations in the sport. In this piece, we take a look at 2 Australian born cricketers who have played for the USA
Cameron Gannon
The lanky right-arm fast bowler Cameron Gannon is among the two players who were born in Australia and played for the United States of America. The pacer plays domestic cricket for the Western Australia team and has been part of the Melbourne Renegades, the Perth Scorchers, and the Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League. He has played for the USA in four T20I games and also was part of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Americas Region Final 2019 for the nation.
@jlandsme_93 Was thinking about your conversation on-air about Cameron Gannon's future JL. If he's not re-contracted I wonder if he'll try to add to his 4 T20Is for USA? T20WC qualifying in July and USA co-host the next T20WC. Will be 35 then though.

Cameron Stevenson
Another Australian-born cricketer who has played for the USA is Cameron Stevenson. He’s a right-handed batter, who played for Tasmania in Australian domestic cricket and also represented Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League. The Victoria-born player has played a fair amount of cricket for the United States of America. He has played for them in eighteen ODIs and 4 T20Is.
