USA Cricket is expected to be “put on notice” amid the existing unrest, a sanction that would bring the governing framework closer to postponing its members.
The International Cricket Council has deemed USA Cricket does not meet its criteria for associate membership. The factor will be part of the discussions at the ICC Annual General Assembly on July 19 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
As I reported in April, USA Cricket avoided calls for suspension at an ICC board meeting in March, but had to “remedy all areas of non-compliance” during the Annual General Meeting. Its financing was “controlled” through the ICC.
According to an ICC document sent to trustees ahead of the Annual General Meeting, USA Cricket has not yet finalized “governance reform processes through the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee. “
“The USOPC has written to USAC to express serious and explicit considerations about the existing governance of USAC,” the document says. “While this positions USAC in violation of ICC club criteria, it reflects broader considerations about USAC governance. “
“The USOPC said that if USAC did not obtain NGB (National Governing Body) certification, they would be required to initiate a procedure to recognize an NGB election for cricket. “

USA Cricket will also “lack an adequate administrative structure. “
Family wars rocked USA Cricket with a wave of resignations underscored by the firing of its chief executive, Dr. Noor Murad, in March, just months after taking office. The recruitment procedure for his replacement is still underway.
“Currently, the replacement is made up of temporary and part-time subcontractors,” the ICC document states.
USA Cricket announced last week that administrators Kuljit Singh Nijjar and Arjun Gona had been suspended after being accused of violating its Member Conduct Policy.
“We are committed to integrity and moral conduct through our member organizations and partners, which is critical to the development of cricket in the United States,” said Venu Pisike, president of USA Cricket.
If USA Cricket receives a “notice” at the Annual General Meeting and remains non-compliant after one year, then you may simply be suspended and ultimately expelled as a member. Being “on notice” is described as something like “swiping your finger on your wrist,” however, the currency crisis begins when members are suspended and their investment stops.
It’s familiar ground for a chaotic scene in American cricket after the governing body of the former U. S. Cricket Association became a major player in the U. S. Cricket Association. The U. S. was expelled in 2017, capping a turbulent era marked by three suspensions.
USA Cricket has avoided being “warned” at last year’s Annual General Meeting.
“USA Cricket was treated with gloves,” an ICC board director told me. “Frankly, there is no USA Cricket. “

Cricket Chile is also in a position to be “put on notice” for not meeting related club criteria.
This follows a memorable T20 World Cup, which was played in New York, Dallas and Lauderhill.
But the highlight is the American component of the tournament, on and off the field, especially around Long Island’s modular stadium. The land was built in just a few months and, as I reported in April, is valued at $30 million.
But the open box and slow inbox made it difficult to score, while some groups reportedly complained about logistical problems, such as their hotels not operating in Eisenhower Park, 30 miles east of Manhattan.
It is worth carrying out an audit on the American side, specifically in New York, to determine if there has been a cargo explosion.
“You have to see how much was spent in New York and whether it’s worth it, given that the land was demolished right after (the U. S. component was finished),” an ICC board director told me.
“There will be a debate about the monetary and strategic prospects for American cricket, given that the United States is a target market for the ICC. “
While USA Cricket is mired in its internal problems, T20 incorporated the entity created in the United States to host the T20 World Cup. Their control of the occasion is expected to be reviewed at the board meeting.
