ine wins out of nine under Jones this year. South
The USA Cricket Association has announced over the weekend that it has offered central contracts to four players and intends to offer up to 20 more contracts in the next two to three months. The declarations were made by USACA president Gladstone Dainty and former USA coach Robin Singh during a series of speeches and presentations made at the USACA T20 National Championship in Florida this weekend.USA captain Steven Taylor, allrounders Timroy Allen and Timil Patel, and Trinbago Knight Riders batsman William Perkins were the first four players offered central contracts by the USACA. Dainty stated in a speech to the players on November 19 that the contracts were worth $48,000. It is not known if any of the players has accepted the offer yet but according to multiple sources, USAs players were advised by ICC Americas officials last month to decline any offer made by USACA after rumours of potential contract offers had circulated. A battle for control of the selection process for USA national teams is not unprecedented. In 2005, a dispute over USA squad selections between USACA and the Council of League Presidents resulted in USA being kicked out of the Intercontinental Cup and replaced by Cayman Islands. USACA was suspended soon after, the first of three administrative suspensions over the course of the next decade.In September, ICC Americas staff, currently administering USA cricket in a caretaker role, hired former Sri Lanka Test cricketer Pubudu Dassanayake as the new USA coach ahead of WCL Division Four in Los Angeles, which USA won to gain promotion to Division Three. Robin last coached a USA side at 2014 ICC WCL Division Three in Malaysia, when USA finished fifth and were relegated to Division Four, but he is still listed on the USACA web site as their mens national coach.However, under USACAs current suspension, the ICC has made clear that it has assumed complete control over USAs operational affairs including national-team selection. Dassanayake is expected to continue leading USAs preparation for Division Three in Uganda next year. USACA has until December 15 to ratify a new constitution that has been approved by the ICC. Failure to do so may see a resolution put forth by December 31 leading to USACAs potential expulsion as an Associate Member at the next ICC Annual Conference in June 2017.In a speech delivered on Sunday, Robin said he had put together a list of players from which 20 would receive USACA contracts in early 2017. Robin emphasised that the contracts were made possible by the $70 million investment deal announced last month between USACA and Philadelphia businessman Jay Pandya, who was subsequently announced as the new owner of the CPL franchise St Lucia Zouks.Were going to consider all of these people going forward to give contracts, Robin said after the list of 29 additional names for consideration was unveiled. Hopefully in the next year or two, we want to actually give out about 20 professional contracts and we want to make it as clear as possible. We want to make sure people are actually committed to the game. Ill put out a list of commitments and requirements that I expect, and theres going to be some very tough lines.The USACA list of 33 players differs in notable ways from the 30-man national squad announced by ICC Americas evaluators in July. Among those that have been included in the USACA list of potential contract recipients are several players with first-class experience overseas including former India U-19 and Mumbai medium pacer Saurabh Netravalkar, Carlitos Lopez and Roy Silva. The only players who were part of USAs Division Four and Auty Cup squads from October not included in USACAs proposed contract list are Srini Santhanam, Hammad Shahid and Abdullah Syed.In the next three months, were going to make sure there are a lot of games played, Robin said. Its not only for the people who are on this list. I will call people outside the box and I think its necessary. If people are injured, or not available, or not honest enough, we will remove them from the list because its not my money. We are playing with other peoples money here and I think [Pandya] has made a serious commitment to take the game forward in this part of the world, and I think, as cricketers, you owe it to yourself to give yourself the best chance.

In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety.Eddie Jones has created an unstoppable England team but cannot claim all the credit for their recent success, according to South Africa head coach Allister Coetzee. Coetzee believes former England boss Stuart Lancaster has also had a hand in Englands superb run of form, which has included nine wins out of nine under Jones this year. South Africa forwards coach Matt Proudfoot explains how they will approach the Test match against England after defeats to New Zealand and Argentina England now turn their attention to the autumn internationals and their opening opponents the Springboks, who they host at Twickenham on Saturday, live on Sky Sports. Coetzee describes Jones as a flipping hard-working coach, having worked with the Australian during the Springboks World Cup winning campaign in 2007, but he adds that Lancasters role in laying a strong foundation for England should not be forgotten.I must also not take any credit away from Stuart Lancaster, said Coetzee. Lancaster laid the foundation for the current England side, according to Coetzee The big thing about Test rugby is its about players being given opportunities and then making mistakes. They made mistakes under Stuart but they got the exposure there. That helped.Take nothing away from Eddie, he understood the profile of the team and where they are, he changed captains, he hhit the right buttons and thats why they got the belief back.ddddddddddddIts funny, a team with confidence is a good team. It doesnt matter about talent, if they ooze confidence and there is that cohesion and synergy then it is an unstoppable team.Thats where England are at the moment, they have that self-belief. While England have regrouped quickly since their humiliating World Cup exit a year ago, South Africas rebuilding process has been far from smooth.They were thrashed 57-15 by New Zealand - their heaviest ever defeat at home - in the Rugby Championship last month, ending a tournament that yielded just two wins from six.Coetzee, who succeeded Heyneke Meyer in April, is calling for patience.We lost six or seven players [after the World Cup] with all their knowledge and experience in crucial positions, Coetzee added. To replace that will take time. The England team look ahead to their opening autumn international clash with South Africa from their training camp in Portugal Theres always stuff after World Cups - reshuffles in management, leadership, in the team and culture, and player personnel.Obviously you never get it right just like that. A mindset change isnt just one training session, it will always take time.Watch England v South Africa on Saturday. Coverage begins on Sky Sports 1 HD at 2pm.
