USA pair in Trophy doubt

Tuesday, September 7 2004

Tony Reid and Donovan Blake, members of the USA squad to play in the Champions Trophy, are stuck in Florida, and may not arrive in time for their first match of the tournament.

The duo has been delayed in Florida, as a result of the Hurricane Frances that has caused many flights to be grounded.

Blake (43) was not an original selection, but was drafted in as a replacement for Imran Awan.

USA, who qualified for the tournament via the ICC Six Nations Challenge in Dubai earlier this year, play their first one-day international against New Zealand on Friday at the Brit Oval.
