Concerns about standards of governance in cricket have been raised in previous columns. Several recent events suggest that they remain valid.
One of these is focused on how the game is governed and financed in the US. Between 1965 and 2017, the governing body was the United States of America Cricket Association or USACA.
In 2005, it was suspended from the International Cricket Council’s annual conference owing to controversy over its election processes.
Although the ICC suspension was lifted in March 2006, on the understanding that a new constitution and elections would be concluded by March 2007, the USACA failed to achieve this.
