In a move no one in international cricket ever expected, USA Cricket (USAC) has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, becoming the first known ICC member board to take such a step. This extraordinary turn of events marks not just a financial crisis, but a governance and existential inflection point for cricket in the United States. The Breaking Point: Dispute With ACEAt the heart of the crisis lies a bitter breakdown in the long‑standing partnership between USA Cricket and American Cricket Enterprises (ACE), the entity behind Major League Cricket (MLC). The contract, signed in 2019, was meant to be a backbone of U.S. cricket’s commercial and operational architecture. But over time tensions built over what USAC alleges were repeated contractual, fiduciary, infrastructure, and governance failures by ACE.
