US CRICKET TEAM
The United States national cricket team represents the United States in international cricket. The team was formerly organised by the United States of America Cricket Association (USACA), which became a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1965. However, the organization was expelled in 2017 following the ICC's concerns about the USACA's governance and finances.[1] On September 24th, ICC Americas announced that a newly formed governing body, known as USA Cricket would take over the team and governance of the sport in the US, starting in 2018.[2] Until the board is established, the team will be run by an ICC Americas administrator.
S. representative team was a participant in the first international cricket match, played against Canada in 1844. However, until the late 20th century the U.S. national team made only infrequent appearances against other international teams, generally only playing against Canada (in the annual Auty Cup) or against touring teams. The U.S. made its international tournament debut at the 1979 ICC Trophy in England, and since then has missed only two editions of the tournament (now known as the World Cup Qualifier). After winning the 2004 ICC Six Nations Challenge, the team qualified for the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy, playing its sole One Day International (ODI) matches to date. In the World Cricket League, the U.S. has qualified for the 2017 Division Three tournament. The team's current head coach is Pubudu Dassanayake.
