"The court's decision to appoint an independent trustee has now played the USA cricket governing body under court-appointed oversight"

USA Cricket's turmoil hits a crossroads as a US court revoked its Subchapter V status and appointed an independent Chapter 11 trustee, stripping control from chairman Venu Pisike and allies. This court oversight aims to rescue the ICC-suspended body from collapse.

Court Cracks Down on Dysfunction

The ruling slams persistent mismanagement, missed deadlines, and leadership breakdowns since the ICC suspension in September 2025. Conflicts rage among the board, creditors, ICC, and American Cricket Enterprises (ACE) – powerhouses behind Major League Cricket and Minor League Cricket.

This pivotal shift could stabilize USA cricket's growth, mirroring India's BCCI model of strong governance fueling IPL success. Stakeholders now pivot to the trustee's reorganization plan amid ambitions for global relevance.
