There are other applications that are under review, including in particular the US Open – Men which will be played in Florida in December, and which will also require sanctioning from the ICC under its regulations. 

USA Cricket would like to wish all leagues, volunteers, administrators and participants in these events every success and thank them for their ongoing support.

The process of domestic event approval is an evolving one, and there are plenty of other administrators who have sought approval for their events.  There are also League Members who are staging domestic events that meet the necessary criteria for them to be ‘deemed approved’ under the regulations.  USA Cricket is not aware of all such events and this list is not intended to capture them all, but a list of all fully paid Members will be published on the website shortly and we plan to consider with the soon-to-be convened Leagues Committee how best USA Cricket can work with all event organizers to help develop a coordinated domestic calendar for the future.  

The latest fully up to date list of the cricket events that are to be played in the United States that have been sanctioned by USA Cricket under the regulations can be found in the ‘Approved Cricket‘ Section of the website.
