ICC release:In what is a huge step forward in unifying cricket in the United States, USA Cricket today launched the official membership program for the sport within the country, which continues the pathway laid out by the USA Cricket Constitution that was approved in December 2017.

The membership program will be divided into two major categories, Individual and Organizational membership. Individual membership will allow all stakeholders in the cricket community including players, coaches, match officials, administrators, and fans to engage with the new governing body. Organizational membership continues League engagement and involvement in the organization, but also provides the opportunity for individual clubs to join USA Cricket. Organizational membership also includes academies, schools, universities, colleges and other cricketing organizations.

The membership program is the next step in the process to build a world-class U.S. governing body for cricket and will help facilitate a fair and transparent election process that engages the entire U.S. cricket community and unifies the sport moving forward.

" Individual membership will allow all stakeholders in the cricket community including players, coaches, match officials, administrators, and fans to engage with the new governing body"

Do you not think this might be a template for West Indies cricket? I do not know the setup in other cricket countries.

If there's any jurisdiction where this approach may not just be needed, but embraced, it would be Windies... just because you have all these different territories with their own visions, etc., that have to work together to get the working products on the field.

However that would probably require dismantling of the current CWI as we know it.
