All very good questions. But CC has had (supposedly) a school/youth program for years. Everyone's in the dark
on how that's going, so its doubtful anyone will hear on any other program.

Surprise! Surprise! ICC Women's Americas Qualifier will be hosted by...(drum roll) USA!!! :o Only four teams in this regional qualifier by far the fewest (Africa has 11!). And only one team from each qualifies. Teams a lot better than USA (shoe-ins given the pathetic state of Canuck women's cricket)...

Peter Della Penna says on Twitter ACE recruiting a whole slew of
South Africans. Looks like "Team USA" will become "Team U[nwanted] S[outh] A[fricans]"
in three years.

Cricketeurope reporting ACE has signed Paki Sami Aslam and
Kiwi Corey Anderson for this new USA league. The mercenary deluge
has begun...

22 people may not count as "a large gathering." Anyhow, another wake-up-from-your-fantasy-world
reminder of the insignificant status of Canada's "fastest
growing (cough, cough ) sport."

"Fastest growing sport in Canada", you know.

Insignificance may be a blessing. Now cricket's the only
team sport allowed in BC.

Pretty clear USACricket strategy is to buy themselves full member status. Must have first class grounds (Indies pay for, CHECK!). :mrgreen: Must have first class domestic league (Indies pay for salaries, CHECK!). :mrgreen: Must be able to beat other full members (couple of wins against Paddies, CHEC...

New ICC Chairman Greg Barclay, in Cricinfo interview, seems to be sold on these
schemes to hold major cricket events in the states to "grow" the game. He's a Kiwi and wonder if he
knows his team aroused absolutely zero interest from Americans when they
played at Lauderhill.

Major League Cricket just announced they will refurbish a minor league baseball
stadium in Dallas to make it an ICC approved facility. From reports I've seen they
got a good deal with taxpayers kicking in over a million. But it means less cricket
for Lauderhill.

What a total FARCE! Instead of explaining why they haven't delivered
on most of their 2018-2020 goals they....throw out a survey! Yes, please
tell us what next we'll FAIL to do!!!
