With the United States Cricket Association (USCA) finally putting up a united front and nominating a single team, the International Cricket Council today confirmed that the USA will participate in the ICC Trophy.The ICC announcement came after the confirmation that the side would not be disputed by a group contesting the legitimacy of the USACA Board. ICC Chief Executive, Malcolm Speed said that this cleared the way for the USA to take its place in the competition. ''The nomination of the team and the confirmation from the opposition group that that it would not be disputing the squad through any domestic legal or other type of challenge or submitting an alternative team clears the way for USA's participation in the event,'' Speed said in a statement in London today. Speed also reiterated the ICC's position that the internal governance issues affecting cricket in the Untied States needed to be resolved in order for the game to fulfill its potential. ''The confirmation of this team has addressed the ICC's most immediate concern regarding cricket in America but it does not change the need for the stakeholders in the game in the United States to come together and resolve their domestic differences in the overall interests of the sport,'' he said. Clarifying the governing body's stance, he said, ''The ICC does not and will not unilaterally get involved in the domestic issues that affect its members. The ICC has repeatedly offered to assist the disputing parties in the USA to help find a way forward but these offers have not been accepted by both sides. These offers have now been withdrawn.'' ''It is now up to the factions within cricket in America to find a solution to their internal dispute through the mediation, arbitration or legal systems that are available to them. I hope this happens quickly and that a resolution can be found,'' he added. |
