INDIANAPOLIS: Executive director of the Cricket Hall of Fame Michael Chambers has called on the powers at be to allow Cricket Council USA (CCUSA) to run the affairs of American cricket, according to a communication received from .CCUSA.
Chambers, who has been a well-respected long standing cricket administrator from Connecticut, said: “It is indeed an honour and a pleasure to recommend and endorse Cricket Council USA as the official body organising and promoting cricket in the United States of America.
“The Hall has long reported that the growth and development of cricket in the USA is stagnant and going nowhere. CCUSA over the last 20 years is the only viable organization keeping cricket alive in the USA. CCUSA was established in 1999. Since its inception CCUSA has established a number of notable tournaments. The US Open T20 Tournament continues to attract first class international cricketers to Florida, thus giving local players a chance to play alongside international stars. A number of local players participating in the US Open have gained international recognition, most notably Muhammad Ali Khan.”
In 2021, CCUSA organized and hosted the First CHOF World Cup T20 Legends Tournament and the Induction Ceremony held in Boca Raton, Florida. It was at that function, Mahammad Qureshi, chief executive officer of CCUSA, was presented a Lifetime achievement award for his work in cricket.
