The ICC Americas Division One tournament was previously played every two years as a 50-over event. The 2011 edition will be staged in Toronto as a Twenty20 event. It will decide the initial Twenty20 Associate rankings for the region as well as determine a pair of qualification slots for the 2012 World Twenty20 Qualifier in Dubai. Two teams will advance to Dubai along with Canada, who automatically qualifies due to their status as an ODI nation.

The ICC Americas U-15 Northern Division tournament will be played from August 20-26 on artificial wickets at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, Canada. Bermuda, Canada and USA will play each other twice in a series of six 40-over games. The ICC Americas U-17 tournament will be a four team event from July 3-10. Bermuda, Canada and USA will go to Toronto along with a Development XI that will be composed of players from Argentina, Bahamas, Cayman Islands and Surinam.

The Pepsi ICC Americas Academy will be held for 10 days in March. Argentina, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, Suriname and USA will send two players to St. Kitts for a series of training sessions run by the region’s Development Performance Officer, Andy Pick. Each country has already nominated a handful of players to send to the camp. Vieira said that Pick will decide who is included in the list of 14 which is expected to be finalized sometime in January.
