The trials all occur over a full day and involve an assessment of fitness and skills both in individual and team scenarios, all of which will be closely observed by USA Cricket representatives and selectors and captured on video for further review. Participants will be allocated into smaller groups in order to meet the COVID protocols that have been developed specifically for these trials and to ensure that they each have a sufficient opportunity to showcase their talent.
Also taking place this weekend on October 16 and 17 in the Bay Area on the West Coast, is the fifth of six Women and Girls Talent ID Events. For further information about these events, please click here.
