ICC suspends USA Cricket board
The Island
|September 25, 2025
The ICC has finally decided to suspend USA Cricket (USAC), in the process hitting the reset button as it attempts to overhaul the leadership and governance structure of the sport in a key market.

ICC was helping USA gain National Governing Body status ahead of the Olympics
The decision was taken by the ICC Board after a virtual meeting on Tuesday. USAC's suspension will not impact the national team's participation in the T20 World Cup starting in February in India and Sri Lanka or the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
The suspension comes just over two months after the ICC, at its annual general meeting in July, had granted USAC three months to hold “free and fair elections" and carry out "comprehensive" governance reforms. At the time, the ICC reiterated that USAC would continue to remain "on notice", as it has been since July 2024. The ICC Board also warned USAC that it reserved the right to take any action it deemed fit based on the progress of reforms.
Eventually, on Tuesday evening, the ICC suspended USAC with "immediate effect" and temporarily took over "management and administration of USA national teams."

The folly of imported ignorance: Why Sri Lanka must reject the foreign anti-vaccine delusion
For decades on end, Sri Lanka has stood as a global beacon of public health success. Our nation's commitment to comprehensive, routine immunisation has cultivated a shield against catastrophic diseases, resulting in one of the highest vaccination coverage rates in the world. This is a profound, hard-won victory, achieved through the diligent work of our healthcare professionals and the commonsense trust of the people of our nation.

Elusive unity in crisis
'Hope is said to 'spring eternal'. So, when the Opposition urged President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to declare a state of emergency and offered to cooperate with the government on disaster management, many may have thought that the NPP and its political rivals would sink their political differences and unite for the sake of the country. But the government and the Opposition went for each other's jugular soon afterwards.
