Considering the popularity of cricket, ICC organizes different cricket leagues in many countries. A year ago, ICC had approved the National Cricket League of USA, but now within just one year, ICC has decided to ban this cricket league. The main reason for which is also coming to light.
Why was it banned?
ICC had given strict guidelines while implementing this league. Now the reason for banning this league has also come to light. Actually, a ban has been imposed on violating the rules of playing eleven in the league. More than half of the players in the playing eleven of the teams in the league were seen playing from other countries, which was against the ICC rules.
These veterans were brand ambassadors
Former West Indies great Vivian Richards and former Pakistan great Wasim Akram were named brand ambassadors of the USA National Cricket League. On the other hand, ICC has also issued a letter regarding the ban. According to the report, the rules of playing eleven were not followed in this tournament. Apart from this, there are many problems with this league inside and outside the field.
These rules have been violated
Apart from not following the rules of playing eleven, on many occasions 6-7 foreign players were fielded. Additionally, the fall of wickets at the pop-up venue proved to be poor, with bowlers such as Wahab Riaz and Tymal Mills forcing the batsmen to spin to avoid physical damage.
