There must be some qualification period even to get citizenship, even after that normally there is a waiting period before you can play for the county in England think it's few years
They are not going to play for the US team lol
It's for that T20 minor league they kicked off. They can get a work visa.
Minor league is established to gather talents, evaluate and kick off Major League Cricket in couple of years, along with stronger US national team that is expected to qualify for WCs and T20WCs(very doable with the players they have now). It is a long-term investment and there good number of Canadian-u19 players playing there. They are even choosing talents with potential(for their standards) like the NBA where they choose a stronger, more athletic dude who might not be polished but has a good potential future just based on pace, hitting ability and athleticism. They definitely know what they are doing from what I can tell. I have a teammate playing there, they are being treated pretty well and are practicing like a professional team. They definitely have investors.
