In a move that has stunned the cricket community, USA Cricket has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This follows the board’s suspension from the ICC for violating its membership obligations. The bankruptcy filing, made before a hearing related to a dispute with American Cricket Enterprises, is a first for an ICC member. Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows the organization to restructure its finances while continuing to operate. The move has raised concerns for players and casts uncertainty over the team’s participation in the 2026 T20 World Cup. American Cricket Enterprises accused USA Cricket of prioritizing politics and personal agendas over the interests of cricket and its players.
