Two players Milind Kumar and Harmeet Singh, who represented the Tripura Ranji team, have been selected in the USA's squad for the upcoming T-20 World Cup. Tanmay Mishra is the other Tripura cricketer who will participate in the T-20 World Cup representing the Kenya.

Tripura Cricket Association’s Joint-secretary Jayanta Dey revealed to ANI that all three played for the Tripura Ranji team in different seasons. According to Dey, Milind Kumar scored 1331 runs in the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy season and then migrated to the USA in search of better opportunities.

Both Kumar and Singh had shifted to the USA permanently while Tanmay Mishra has dual citizenship of Kenya and India. As a result, both players Kumar and Singh are eligible to be selected for the USA's T-20I team for the T-20 World Cup, scheduled to commence on 2nd June in the USA and the West Indies. The US will compete against India on 12th June.

Harmeet played a crucial role in India's 2012 Australian Under-19 World Cup winning squad. Unmukt Chand, the captain of Harmeet's team, who has also relocated to the US to play in the Major Cricket League, was unexpectedly left out of the roster, while Corey Anderson, a former all-rounder from New Zealand, was chosen.

“Milind Kumar on the other hand played for the Tripura team in 2019-20 and 2020-21. They have shifted to the USA and are now repressing the USA in international cricket. All of them are part of the T20 World Cup team declared by the cricket boards of the respective countries. Harmeet Singh was also part of the Indian Under 19 team,” Jayanta Dey told ANI.
