THE USA Cricket Association has announced that elections for 2015 will take place at a Special General Meeting in Dallas, Texas on March 21.

Nominations for candidates to the executive board are open until February 18 with the election set to occur under the current constitution after a proposal to ratify a revised constitution failed at the 2014 USACA Annual General Meeting in New York last November.
USACA has published a list of 39 voting members eligible to take part in this election, up from the 15 that were allowed to take part in the controversial 2012 USACA general election.
A total of 32 of the-then 47 USACA member leagues were barred from voting after being declared “not in good standing” due to the results from a USACA compliance audit but USACA has now moved to make most of those leagues eligible to vote again, regardless of whether or not they meet the criteria established in 2012 to become members in good standing.
Of the 39 member leagues, five of them are also registered as member leagues of the rival American Cricket Federation.
Separately, there are seven leagues on the voting list that have not previously been USACA members prior to the 2012 USACA election and do not appear to have gone through the membership ratification process outlined in the USACA Constitution.
The process includes submitting an application before going through a provisional membership period of at least one year followed by a referral to the USACA board for review and approval to full membership by a majority vote of the board. None of the eight leagues is mentioned anywhere in USACA Meeting Minutes since the 2012 USACA AGM.
USACA had appointed a committee of six league presidents to form a set of revisions to the proposed constitution after it had fallen short of approval at the November AGM.
But sources have indicated that the USACA board rejected the proposals that were submitted at a board meeting in January. USACA made no announcement as to the eventual status of the findings of the six-man committee. (ESPN Cricinfo)
