USA Cricket Interim Chair Atul Rai said, “This is truly an exciting day and a celebratory moment for USA Cricket and we are really proud of the member status granted upon us by the USOPC. We would like to extend a special thanks to Fara Gorsi, Regional Manager at ICC Americas, for all the help in facilitating the application process to obtain the AOC member status.”
