The worldwide governing body's Full Council will vote on whether to expel the organisation, who have been suspended since 2015 due to concerns over the "governance, finance, reputation and cricketing activities" of the affiliate member, one below Test playing nations.

In a statement released today, the ICC said it "does not believe USACA genuinely exercises authority over the sport in the USA and that it instead, for a variety of reasons, presides over a severely fractured community with only a small number of cricket leagues subscribing to its membership and the vast majority not choosing to join the federation".

The organisation in the US has failed to comply with efforts to unify the sport in the country.

Since the suspension was placed on USACA, the ICC have been working with the association to form a new constitution.

A draft document was drawn up for the USACA back in March, but the ICC have confirmed the organisation "failed to send its members a copy".

They instead presented an alternative version to its membership, adopted at a meeting in April.

The different constitution "included proposals that the ICC Board had specifically rejected as well as other material changes that had not been approved by the ICC Board".

"The ICC Board considered that all of those proposals and changes were likely to frustrate a successful unification process," the statement added.

The approved constitution was compiled by the ICC's Sustainable Foundation Advisory Group (SFAG) with input coming from individuals and groups such as the USACA and the US Olympic Committee.

The ICC have accused the USACA, however, of "failing to engage" with the SFAG process for a "considerable period of time".

"The decision to pass this resolution was not taken lightly by the ICC Board," ICC chief executive David Richardson said.

"Our focus throughout this two year process has been on the unification of the USA cricket community behind USACA to grow and develop the sport.

"But it has become clear that this is just not possible and, having invested so much time and resources into helping USACA and with little in the way of cooperation from USACA, the ICC Board now felt that the only remaining option was for the ICC Full Council to consider expulsion of USACA as a member of the ICC.

"USACA’s refusal to engage in the process, to meet a number of fundamental reinstatement conditions, to provide responses to further requests for information and its apparent failure to put the ICC Board-approved constitution before its members without legitimate excuse undermines the all-important objective of uniting the sport."
