ICC Faces Scrutiny Over US T20 World Cup Leg

The ICC Board will address potential budgetary losses from the US-leg of the T20 World Cup during the Annual Conference in Colombo. The exact financial impact is still uncertain as ticket revenues are yet to be finalized. Tournament Director Chris Tetley's resignation adds another layer of controversy.

The ICC Board will convene during its Annual Conference in Colombo on July 19 to discuss budgetary losses stemming from the USA leg of the T20 World Cup. While the audits are ongoing, early estimates suggest the losses could be in the millions due to uncalculated ticket revenues.

Tournament Director Chris Tetley had resigned prior to the tournament's commencement, and sources claim the decision was unrelated to the USA leg. However, his departure has sparked discussions about leadership and preparation.

The choice of New York City as a venue has drawn fierce criticism, particularly for the substandard pitch at Nassau County Cricket Stadium. Board members question why alternative cities were not considered for this key event.
