Good morning Cricket Nerds,

State of Cricket in USA
The Townhall planned by USA Cricket on March 3 has been canceled.
USA Cricket and ACE are communicating on operational procedures and policies with regard to Ace’s minor league cricket operations. Out of respect for these conversations, the proposed town hall schedule for this morning will be postponed to a future time. USAC is taking this issue very seriously and is working diligently to ensure the positive growth of cricket in the USA.

Hopefully, there is clarification about the sad state of affairs going forward. One can only hope!

"I also think there are too many players who say the same boring answers, they don't even have to turn up to interviews because journalists answer their own questions the way they ask them. Unfortunately, the way it is now players are so afraid to say anything, but I'd like them to be honest."
Warne, you will always be the best!
