CRICKET
America surprised everyone by defeating Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Team USA proved itself on the big stage by reaching the Super 8 of the tournament.
The team is currently in big trouble. Due to several issues within the cricket board, the ICC is now considering taking action against Team USA.
The ICC has given the USA team a 3-month grace period before taking any suspension decision.
The ICC and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee had asked the USA Cricket Board to implement reforms within a year. That deadline has now passed without any progress.
The ICC has demanded a change in the leadership group. If the board fails to act, USA cricket could face serious consequences.
The ICC’s decision could impact Major League Cricket future plans, the national team, and even USA’s participation in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
The current chairman, Venu PCK, did not follow the ICC and USOPC’s instructions. If leadership doesn’t change in 3 months, the USA might be suspended despite qualifying for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
