USA have advanced to the Super Eight stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup. The co-hosts sealed their berth after securing a point against Ireland with the fixture abandoned due to rain.
Having made history in the ICC event, USA Cricket shared a glimpse of the locker room scenes on Instagram with the players expressing their delight over the achievement.
The clip begins with USA pacer Ali Khan recreating Andre Russell’s hilarious Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) interview.
Ali can be heard asking his teammate Aaron Jones, “First World Cup, you perform what happening? First game you perform what happening?”
Jones hilariously replied, “What you mean?”

The post caught Russell’s attention.
The West Indies all-rounder reacted to the post by saying, “lol what you mean!!!”.
Fans also took notice of USA’s celebratory video, sharing their reactions in the comments. One of them wrote, “The Bangladeshi reporter got so viral”.
Another highlighted that the hilarious interview was now travelling overseas. “This meme going international now,” one wrote.
Others congratulated the USA players on the historic achievement. “So proud of these men. Thank you for building the stage for our future Asian American kids. My 11 year old just told me dad I want to be like them. This is huge ya’all cannot imagine”, one wrote.
Another added, “‘Fathers of Cricket in America’ yes you are boys. Congrats for getting through and representing us so well!”.
“Knocking off Pakistan out of Super Eight is not quite easy for a debut team in T20WC. Keep Going boys,” chimed in another.
In the video, Ali also interviewed his other teammates, asking about their feelings following the qualification.
USA skipper Monank Patel said, “Super Eight baby! We outside tonight!”
Having interviewed a bunch of his teammates, Ali then talked about the emotions running within him after cracking the final eight.
“I feel amazing. I feel over the moon. I think we just created history. And we will be known as founding fathers of cricket in America,” he said.
USA’s star pacer Saurabh Netravalkar touched on the support he has received from the fans in the tournament.
“To see that kind of support coming for us it was really heartening. Keep supporting and we will try to give our best on the field every time we wear this logo,” he said.
Team USA will now travel to West Indies for the Super Eight phase of the T20 World Cup 2024. They will next take on South Africa on June 19 at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium in Antigua and Barbuda.
