'Reinstated' USAC Directors reject truce as turmoil deepens ahead of USOPC deadline

USA Cricket finds itself in hot water yet again after their effort to bring their internal legal battle to a truce was rejected by the plaintiffs ahead of ICC Chairman Jay Shah's USA visit. Already under suspension notice on charges of misgovernance that were slapped in the ICC AGM last year, USAC was served a fresh legal notice by terminated directors Arjun Gona, Kuljit Nijjar and Patricia Whitaker alongside incumbent director Atul Rai last month.

In a possible last-ditch effort to douse fires ahead of Shah's visit, USAC reinstated Gona and Nijjar to the board. However, it is learnt that the plaintiffs are in no mood to bury the hatchet unless their grievances are settled by the court. Apart from the reinstatement of all three terminated directors, a major relief sought in the lawsuit is the removal of the rest of the directors on the board, including the president Venu Pisike.
