Aaron Jones stole the show, leading the USA to a seven-wicket victory over Canada in the T20 World Cup 2024 opener in Dallas on Saturday. He struck an unbeaten 94 off just 40 balls, securing the USA's first-ever T20 World Cup win.
Born on October 19, 1994, in New York to parents of West Indies origin, Jones was eligible to represent the West Indies but always dreamed of playing for the Caribbean nation. Instead, he achieved the notable feat of representing the United States.
In his early days, Jones played alongside current West Indies internationals Shai Hope and Jason Holder, competing against the likes of Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell. After initially dreaming of representing the West Indies, Jones realized his dream partially by playing for the country of his birth. He made his USA debut in 2019 at the age of 24, featuring in a T20I against the United Arab Emirates on March 15, 2019.
Aaron Jones has also participated in various T20 competitions globally, including the Major League Cricket (USA), Bangladesh Premier League, and Caribbean Premier League, playing for teams like the Seattle Orcas, Rangpur Riders, and St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots
