USA Drop Aaron Jones From ODI Squad For Preferring Club Over Country
It is believed that Jones' decision to participate in the CPL, despite "warnings" from USA Cricket, may have caused tension within the selection committee and higher authorities at USA Cricket. Ultimately, Jones played as a local in the tournament and didn’t require an NOC from USA Cricket.
In contrast, Andries Gous, who limited his stint with the Trinbago Knight Riders to rush to Namibia, has retained his place in the team. In Jones' absence, USA continued their unbeaten run in four ODI matches in Namibia which gave selectors confidence to make the bold decision to drop him. Although Jones was recalled for the T20I series due to his CPL final heroics, his place in the T20I squad is also under threat following a series of low scores in the recent Nepal T20I series. Jones has been a constant presence in USA’s white-ball squads since his debut in 2018.
