At first, these pronouncements led to a lot of hope.   For a while, it appeared that the USACA machinery was producing results.  Pearls Cup, the historic first international T20 series between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, was successfully conducted despite its share of nay-sayers.   For the first time, a major international event was imagined and executed in USA.  Some months later, when USA reached Division 3, it helped to re-energize the troops. But as days turned to weeks and then months, and nothing more was heard about the commercial deal, the hope dwindled.   Positive news dried up and selection woes and accusations of favoritism once again came to the fore.  Poorly organized domestic tournaments and constant changes to tournament schedules did nothing to enhance USACA's reputation.  And the political tension surrounding the suspension of Western Region's representative only helped to add to the distrust.  The commercial deal is once again a hot topic and the person that should get credit for it is Ahmed Jeddy.  In an interview with DreamCricket.com last week, Jeddy attributed the lack of progress in his region to lack of funding and to a lack of support from his team.  “When we had the USACA Western Conference in Houston two years ago, I singlehandedly went out and contributed a lot of funds to stage the tournament

Four years after start, cricket team makes nationals by Elizabeth Traynor Hatchet Reporter   It's not uncommon for college kids to spend their spring break in Florida. But one group of GW students will be heading south next week for a different reason: the 2010 American College Cricket Championship. It's a far cry from four years ago, when a trio of current seniors decided to start a cricket team at GW without ever having played the game.
