The International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended USA Cricket’s membership with immediate effect after a year-long review and consultations with key stakeholders.
The ICC Board reached the decision at its recent meeting, citing repeated breaches of obligations under the ICC Constitution.
According to the ICC, USA Cricket failed to establish a functional governance structure, made little progress toward National Governing Body recognition with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), and undertook actions that harmed the reputation of the sport both domestically and internationally.
“The suspension is an unfortunate but necessary step to protect the long-term interests of the game,” the ICC said in a statement.
