Cricket All-Stars Series 2015[1] was an exhibition Twenty20 cricket series in the USA. Many of the legendary cricketers, who are now retired from international cricket, took part in this series in order to promote and popularise the game of cricket in America. It was the inaugural series of the Cricket All-Stars.

Squads

The two captains selected their respective squads by randomly drawing out the player names on 5 November 2015 at the Times Square.[2]

Venues

All three matches of the series played in baseball stadiums. Initially in June 2015, Wrigley Field in Chicago and Yankee Stadium in New York were booked as venues, along with Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.[5] However, in October 2015, the former two venues were replaced by New York Mets' home ballpark Citi Field and Houston Astros' home ballpark Minute Maid Park. The first match was a day game in New York, while the second and third played under lights in Houston and Los Angeles respectively.[1]

A curator from New Zealand was hired to prepare drop-in pitches in Minneapolis to be delivered to the three stadiums.[6]
