Masters Cricket USAโ€™s story across the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s age groups by Fazal Alam

40s, 50s, 60s and 70s age groups is one continuous arc of belief, performance and progress

and this Over 40s semifinal in Pakistan is the latest, proudest chapter. The whole Masters community can look at this moment and say with confidence: USA belongs at the very top table of world Masters cricket.

The Over 40s reaching the semifinals in Pakistan against defending champions Pakistan is a huge achievement and a sign of how far the program has come in just four years. This is not a oneโ€‘off run but the product of structures, culture and standards that now consistently put USA in contention at global events.

The Over 50s set the template in the World Cup in Cape Town, fighting their way into the semifinals of the Over 50s World Cup and then pushing thenโ€‘world champions England all the way in a tight, highโ€‘quality contest. That campaign proved to the Masters world โ€“ and to USA players themselves โ€“ that American sides can match the very best on skill, fitness, tactics and temperament on the biggest stage.

The Over 60s side added another layer of pride with an outstanding performance at last yearโ€™s Over 60s World Cup in Chennai, showing depth, resilience and class against the strongest countries in testing subcontinental conditions. Their efforts have inspired players across the age spectrum and underlined that USA is now competitive โ€“ and respected โ€“ in every Masters age bracket.

Adding to this legacy, the formation of the Over 70s โ€œGrand Mastersโ€ squad shows that age is truly just a number as they embark on their journey to the Over 70s World Cup in New Zealand in February 2026 โ€“ yes, you heard that right, Over 70s representing USA on the world stage. Their inclusion completes the pathway and sends a powerful message that passion, fitness and competitive fire can thrive well into a seventh decade of life.

Across the IMC rankings in the 40s, 50s and 60s age groups, MCUSA has multiple players listed among the top runโ€‘getters, wicketโ€‘takers and MVPs, confirming that USAโ€™s impact is driven by genuine worldโ€‘class individual performances. These star names, spread across three age groups, reflect not only personal excellence but also the quality of coaching, preparation and competition within the MCUSA pathway.

A huge round of applause goes to all MCUSA executives, ageโ€‘group committees, coaches, managers and volunteers whose dedication has made this โ€œsecond inningsโ€ possible. Their work has created opportunities for cricket lovers to share dressing rooms with international stars, play in worldโ€‘class stadiums, and embrace a healthier, more active lifestyle โ€“ and as the Over 40s take the field in this semifinal, they carry the dreams and hard work of this entire community with them.

Masters Cricket USAโ€™s commitment to excellence on the field is matched by a strong commitment to giving back off it. Through its charity wing, MSUSA has used every tour as a platform for service, from major donations such as a 10,000โ€‘plus contribution in Colombo to a cancer hospital to regularly providing cricket gear and support to deserving communities around the world, ensuring that representing the USA also means leaving a positive impact wherever the team plays.
