Overview

• The ICC Board suspended USA Cricket’s membership with immediate effect after a year-long review of repeated non-compliance.
• The breaches cited include failure to establish a functional governance structure, lack of progress toward USOPC recognition, and actions causing reputational damage.
• U.S. national teams remain eligible for ICC events, including preparations for LA28 and the 2026 T20 World Cup, with team operations temporarily overseen by the ICC.
• An ICC Normalisation Committee will set and monitor a reinstatement roadmap requiring demonstrable governance and operational reforms.
• USA Cricket had been on notice since 2024 and was granted a short reprieve in July 2025, as legal disputes with American Cricket Enterprises continued to unsettle the domestic landscape.
