Unmukt Chand, the young Indian cricketer, stated that he doesn’t have any plans of signing a deal for the United States of America. Chand’s comments came after Sami Aslam, who would be turning up for the USA a couple of years later, stated that ’30-40 foreign players’, including Chand went to America recently.

On his travel to the USA, Chand mentioned that he went there to attend his relatives and went for practice in the training sessions. Calling it a ‘leisure tour’, the right-hander said that he isn’t involved with USA cricket in any form whatsoever.

“I had gone to the USA to visit my relatives, and of course when there, I went for a bat or two — just to practise. I had gone to the training session just because I had come here, but I have done nothing like signing anything in the USA. This trip is nothing but a leisure tour,” Unmukt Chand was quoted as saying in The New Indian Express.

Earlier, Aslam, who has quit playing for Pakistan and would be eligible to play for the USA in November 2023, said that experienced first-class cricketers from South Africa, India and other nations went to America of late.

“30 or 40 foreign players have arrived in America recently. A few former Under-19 Indian players have also arrived, including Unmukt Chand, Smit Patel, and Harmeet Singh. There are many players from South Africa over here now who have played a lot of First-class cricket in their homeland. Former New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson is also here,” he said.

Previously, Aslam also revealed that a number of first-class cricketers from Pakistan have gone up to him regarding USA future prospects. “I have had calls from over 100 First-class players in Pakistan exploring the possibility of them settling in America,” Aslam said.

Aslam made his debut for Pakistan back in 2015 and could only play 13 Tests and four ODIs. He managed 836 runs with seven half-centuries and a top score of 91. He last donned the national jersey against Sri Lanka in 2017. Recently, he also played three games for Balochistan in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
