2015 ICC Americas Twenty20 Division One


The 2015 ICC Americas Twenty20 Division One was a cricket tournament held in the United States from 3–10 May 2015. All matches were played at the World Sports Park in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The top two teams at the tournament, Canada and the United States, progressed to the 2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier in Ireland and Scotland, where the top six teams will qualify for the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 in India. The tournament was organised by ICC Americas, and featured the top four associate members in that region – Bermuda, Canada, Suriname, and the United States. The West Indies cricket team is a full member of the International Cricket Council, and thus qualifies directly for the World Twenty20.

    Preparation

    • The Americas Twenty20 is the first international tournament to be held at the Indianapolis World Sports Park, with the two previous editions having been held at the Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida. Bermuda, coached by former national player Arnold Manders, prepared for the tournament with a training camp in Jamaica. There, they played three matches against Jamaican club sides, winning all three. As part of its preparation for the tournament, Suriname played several Twenty20 matches against a touring Marylebone Cricket Club side in March 2015. Canada played three warm-up matches against an invitational XI in Houston, Texas.
