USA Cricket: ICC suspends membership with immediate effect

It also highlighted unspecified “significant actions that caused reputational damage to cricket in the United States and around the world”.

NGB status is required for a sport to take place at the LA Olympics, where the sport is due to return after a 128-year absence.

USA Cricket was previously placed ‘on notice’ at the 2024 ICC annual general meeting for “non-compliance with membership criteria” and given 12 months to fix the issues.

Following July’s AGM, the governing body confirmed USA Cricket remained on notice, with the caveat that the ICC board “reserves the right to take such actions as it deems appropriate”.

At the time, BBC Sport had seen evidence that USA Cricket had addressed five of the eight issues flagged last year relating to governance, finance and administration.

The US have been an associate member of the ICC since 1965 and featured at the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, reaching the Super 8 stage to earn automatic qualification for the 2026 tournament.

BBC Sport has contacted USA Cricket for comment.
