Sources close to the situation have hinted that the ICC has grown increasingly frustrated with the USA Cricket board's successive failures to meet the standards, as per a report in the Times of India. Unsettled financial conditions, continued dissatisfaction between the board members, and a lack of proper administration have been major concerns.
The ICC might be preparing to take decisive action on the USA Cricket Board as the 12-month governance notice period is nearing its end in July 2025.
The ICC had placed a normalisation committee to oversee the conditions within the USA Cricket Board. Since the ICC cited the US boards' lack of "fit for purpose" governance, the reports have also revealed that no such significant change has been observed ever since the issuing of the notice.
