Qureshi announced, “I’m running for President in order to bring credibility to USACA – what should be an esteemed organization. Credibility is only established when an organization demonstrates responsibility and integrity from within. Only then can we gain the confidence of our members and sponsors. I’m running for this position because I am committed to the development and expansion of cricket in the United States. I’m running for office to make USACA an effect yet transparent organization that earns the respect of its membership, other cricket associations, the ICC, existing and potential sponsors, and, of course, the millions of potential cricket enthusiasts in America.“

Qureshi, also known as “Maq”, migrated to United States in 1984 with little to no means – but he had big dreams. With an strong work ethic and limitless determination, he is now the President and CEO of a successful corporation, MAQ Group, Inc, one of the largest real estate investment and financial groups in the United States. MAQ Group has enjoyed great success by specializing in high-profile commercial real estate investments, financing, development, management and consulting. MAQ Group also specialized in developing and maintaining fast food franchises and gas stations throughout the State of Florida. MAQ Group owns trademarked brands, such as PetroAmerica, Subco, SuperStop and Bizder. MAQ Group also maintains many significant, national-scale relationships with BP Oil, Shell Oil, Hess, Chevron, CITGO, Marathon and Sunoco, among others.

Ten years ago Maq’s passion for cricket led him to personally create a private sports and entertainment company named “Cricket Council USA.” With business and three kids whom he spends much of his time with, the “business” of cricket has become an integral part of both his professional and personal life.  Maq has held countless cricket tournaments throughout the United States including Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York known as the “MAQ T20 Tournaments.” Maq has branded a T20 logo and tag line as well as a line of energy drinks and a clothing/gear line surrounding the hype for the short-action packed game. Maq has also been a long time supporter of the only ongoing T20 Night Cricket Tournament in the United States – the “City of Lauderhill Maq T20 International Night Cricket Tournament” in the City of Lauderhill, Florida, (Cricket Capital of the U.S.).

It is a natural transition for Maq to take the helm of USACA’s ship which is seemingly sailing in circles. Maq’s historical knack for achievement and growth in the corporate world, successfully coupled with his passion for the advancement of the sport in the U.S. is a winning combination. Maq’s dreams to elevate USACA to a well respected and transparent organization are achievable upon him being elected to President.
