Split board at USA Cricket cuts ties with ACE; World Cup preparations at risk

In a significant development, USA Cricket has formally severed ties with its strategic partner, American Cricket Enterprises (ACE).

Split board at USA Cricket cuts ties with ACE; World Cup preparations at risk

The national governing body entered a 50-year agreement with ACE, the company behind Major League Cricket (MLC), in June 2019, granting it exclusive rights to own and operate a top-tier T20 league in the United States.

The deal also covered commercialization of the national teams and plans to develop cricket infrastructure in a country with limited dedicated facilities. However, years of tensions repeatedly pushed the partnership to the brink. With the termination notice sent by USA Cricket yesterday following its three-hour board meeting, the relationship reached a breaking point. The board, already operating under an ICC suspension notice since July 2024, was sharply divided.
