As much as I'm all for spreading the game.

I don't really like that these games count towards the record books. Like the quality will be less than what you'd get in a club game in some countries.

Way less. But if it was football then it'd still be an international. Treating countries equally at least gives some validation to efforts to expand the sport in that country.

USA have suddenly become a super strong associate team now. Been winning all their matches with the influx of new Canada and South Africa players into the team. Corey Anderson and Unmukt Chand are struggling to get into the squad. Regular stars like Steven Taylor, Monank, Aaron Jones and Netravalkar are all playing on rotation basis.

If we are going that route, all those who are playing for the national team are Americans, fine. But you know what I meant. Non-desi and non-south African guys.

I don't think Netravalkar has gotten US citizenship yet.

It's funny though. You would think he would get a citizenship to represent a country
