The latest team in the APL just got its Captain America! American cricketer Azurdeen “Andy” Mohammed has been named team captain of the Premium Americans Cricket Club!
Mohammed is an American cricketer originally from Trinidad. He is a left-handed all-rounder who made his cricket debut for the United States National team in May 2010. He competed in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup for the national under-19 team, where he was named man of the match.
Mohammed has played cricket since he was a young child. He was even given the nickname “Andy,” a reference to English cricketer Andy Caddick, by his aunt who supported his love of the sport.
“It means a lot to me to be captain for Premium Americans. I’m excited to have the opportunity to lead and motivate our team on the field,” Mohammed said. “They say, ‘When you win, it’s the team. But when you lost, it’s the captain,’ so I hope we get a lot of wins!”
