Fooglies one of 32 teams attractive part in US Cricket Open
Fooglies announce today that their team Fooglies Cricket is one of 32 teams taking part in US Open 2011, to be held in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., from Dec 1-4.
This year, Fogies will be captained by USA batsman Aditya Mishra. The team comprises several current and former first-class cricketers from India and Pakistan at this time residing in the USA.
Arjun Thyagarajan, founder of Fooglies, said his team was excited to be part of US Open 2011. "As USA's biggest cricket tournament, I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in this event. I think that the Fooglies have some of the best cricketers across USA today, they are a very high-energy team and they are going into this tournament with the right blend of talent and experience." Competition at the tournament is very strong this year and several international and first-class cricketers have said to have confirmed their participation. "Our first game is against the US All-Stars that have the likes of Shoaib Akhtar in their list (not officially confirmed). It’s a do-or-die game for us!"
Arjun Thyagarajan is looking onward to the contest and is excited about the prospects of the Fooglies. "We have some highly gifted cricketers and we are going to have a blast in Florida. We did well in the past tournament and expect to build on that performance."
Arjun said, "Fooglies came together about 11 years ago and since then has been reuniting for various tournaments. It is is basically an intersection of cricket and friendship."
Speaking about the sponsors and group, he said, "We are also very thankful for the support of friends and well-wishers. It keeps us going and brings together some of the best cricketers all over the USA."
