The USA and World Cup Cricket
The USA has not been able to qualify for the World Cup ever. The reason for this is that cricket is not a very popular game in the country. Baseball, Basketball and American Football are the more popular games there. Since 1965, The USA has been a part of the ICC. The ICC has made many initiatives to make the game more popular among the American masses. They have been taking part in the ICC Trophy, ICC Americas Championship, Intercontinental Cup and many other tournaments. Their moment of glory came in 2004 when they qualified for the ICC Champions Trophy. The USA, sadly, has been unsuccessful in qualifying for the World Cup so far.
