Chapter 11 bankruptcy: After being suspended from ICC membership with immediate effect last month, now USA cricket has taken a surprising step. The ICC had raised the decision to suspend USA cricket, due to repeated violation of its responsibilities as its member country. After being suspended from membership, now USA cricket has applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. USA cricket has taken this step just before hearing about its controversy with American Cricket Enterprises. This is the first time in world cricket when an application has been applied for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 by an ICC member organization.
What is chapter 11 bankruptcy?
Now the question is, what is the chapter 11 bankruptcy? This actually allows a business or person to reorganize their money and borrows under court surveillance. While doing this, the board can continue its operation. The opposite from Chapter 7, including the liquidation of assets, is a “reorganization” bankruptcy, which is designed to give a new beginning to an enterprise.
Application for bankruptcy before hearing starts
A few minutes before the hearing on the dispute with the American Cricket Enterprises, the lawyer of USA cricket informed the court about the bankruptcy. According to a report by Cricbuzz, American Cricket Enterprises said that USA cricket did not even wait for the hearing to start and announced his own bankruptcy. This is because he knew the result beforehand. He alleged that USAC is not worried at all about cricket and the interests of its players. He is suffering from politics and he has just lying on the private agenda of the directors.
