Today marks a proud and historic moment for USA Cricket as USACUSA umpire Mr. Rushane Samuels makes his international debut, officiating in the USA Women vs Zimbabwe Women One Day International (ODI) at the iconic Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

This debut is a significant achievement not only for Rushane but for the broader umpiring community in the United States. His selection is a testament to his commitment, professionalism, and consistent performance on the field. Excellently well done, Rushane — we celebrate this milestone and wish you many more successful matches at the international level.

This milestone is a direct reflection of the leadership of Mr. Danny Khan, President of USACUSA, whose unwavering dedication to umpire excellence has reshaped the landscape of officiating in American cricket. Under his tenure, Danny has championed a bold, long-term strategy to elevate umpiring standards, invest in talent development, and build international pathways for local officials. Thanks to his efforts, USA umpires such as Mr.Jermaine Lindo, Mr.Aditya Gajjar, and now Mr. Rushane Samuels have proudly stepped onto the global stage. His collaboration with elite umpire educators like Mr. Peter Nero and his commitment to mentoring, certification, and continuous learning have laid a strong foundation for future success. Danny Khan’s impact is not only seen in today’s international appointments — it’s felt in every aspiring umpire now believing the dream is possible.

Today’s match isn’t just another game — it’s a celebration of growth, opportunity, and the power of vision and leadership in sports development.
