USA Cricket sued over governance and election manipulation

USA Cricket is facing a lawsuit from current and former board members over governance issues. The lawsuit alleges election manipulation, breaches of governance, and violations of regulations from the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. The legal action comes as the International Cricket Council has scrutinized USA Cricket's governance, previously issuing a deferred suspension. The plaintiffs seek the removal of certain officials and the annulment of upcoming elections, claiming a lack of transparency. This turmoil threatens cricket's growth in the U.S., especially with the sport's inclusion in the Los Angeles Olympics. The plaintiffs argue that internal efforts to resolve these issues have failed, leaving legal action as their only option.
