United States of America Cricket (USAC) has been handed a suspension notice for 12 months in the wake of a falter in expenses during the T20 World Cup 2024. For the unversed, the T20 World Cup 2024 was jointly hosted by the USA and West Indies as the first leg of the tournament was conducted in the Big Apple-New York.
Pankaj Khimji of Oman had previously called for a forensic review of the issues as the International Cricket Council formed a panel. Taking cognizance of the issue, the ICC has appointed a review committee consisting of Lawson Naidoo from South Africa, Imran Khawaja from Singapore, and Roger Twose from New Zealand for review. The panel informed the ICC about the conduct on July 22, following the suspension notice of the USA.
“The ICC Board confirmed that there will be a review into the delivery of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. This will be overseen by three directors, Roger Twose, Lawson Naidoo and Imran Khwaja who will report back to the Board later in the year,” ICC said in a statement.
“It is an overall review as to what the event achieved against what was targeted, its long-term impact in the US, etc. The review will not be limited to expenses. The exact terms of reference will be decided later,” an ICC source said.
Claire Furlong and Chris Tetley’s resignation, which were believed to be related to the conduct of the World Cup, have been clarified by the ICC as pre-empted and disconnected from the ongoing issue.
