Chief Operating Officer: USA Cricket (USAC) on Saturday appointed Johnathan Atkeison as its new CEO effective August 1. Atkeison, who most recently served as the Chief Operating Officer of USA Rugby, joins USA Cricket with over 15 years of national governing body experience in both high-performance, grassroots development, and business administration.

This comes after the International Cricket Council (ICC) placed them "on notice" earlier this week for lacking an appropriate administrative and governance structure and framework.

With the appointment, USAC met one of the two essential conditions to remain an ICC Associate member. In order to get the National Governing Body (NGB) status - which is required for all sports that were included to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles - the other need was to meet the governance standards established by the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC).
