USA Cricket declares bold new era, sets sight on full ICC membership, game-changing expansion plans around LA Olympics
From being the CEO of Cricket West Indies for seven years to now leading Major League Cricket (MLC), Johnny Grave's new mission could redefine the global cricketing order. And in less than half a year into his new role, the Englishman has hit the ground running. Grave has already overseen MLC's expansion to three active venues for 2025, pulling off a coup by securing the Oakland Coliseum as a host ground. 'We've got to be ready with cricket in America to capitalize on that, both in terms of the greater enthusiasm it will generate at the grassroots level, in the schools and the colleges, and also in terms of the fan base, and not making it just a one-off,' he told Cricbuzz. As MLC gears up for a pivotal few years with the LA28 Olympics on the horizon, Grave believes America is sitting on an untapped goldmine. But transforming that promise into permanence will take more than showpiece events. 'How do we take those fans from the Olympics and move them through into becoming really sticky and engaged cricket fans, and actually getting them to actively support our MLC teams and the US national teams, because we need those teams to build their own fan bases,' said Grave. Grave is also looking to reshape the grassroots structure and revenue model for Minor League Cricket (MiLC), which currently runs on personal investment from private owners. 'We have had really positive talks with the owners about redefining the business model for Minor League to help ensure it becomes more sustainable, both from a league perspective and the individual teams,' he said. 'There is definitely value within Minor League and we've seen that in the last few months, with ownership changing, different investors coming into the individual teams.' Player development is also at the heart of Grave's blueprint. With full-time earnings for the majority of American cricketers still meagre, his aim is to establish a structure where pursuing cricket professionally is financially viable. 'We've had really good discussions with the US players' union. We're probably going to be the first league in the US to sign an agreement with the players' union… what USA-based cricketers are earning now compared to their Associate Member counterparts would be significantly ahead of any other team,' he said. Grave believes USA Cricket could soon make a strong case for full ICC membership, if it fixes its governance flaws. 'I think USA Cricket already has a very compelling case to become an ICC full member… The one concern I think the game of cricket might have would be the ongoing governance challenges that the board has faced over pretty much all of its recent history,' he noted. His understanding of ICC systems, gained through his years at the helm of a full-member board, could be key in lobbying for a unique pathway. 'Certainly everything that we're planning to do with Minor League Cricket and expanding the academy network, and with MLC already a premier domestic T20 tournament on the global stage… it is only going to assist the case.' Grave isn't just building a league. He's helping awaken a sleeping giant. And if the plans take shape, American cricket may soon do more than just catch up—it might well start leading the conversation.

Shein and Temu purchases now cost a lot more — unless you're in Europe
European consumers now face a far smaller charge on imports from Chinese retailers than shoppers in the US. The European Union said on Tuesday it will start imposing a flat fee of 2 euros ($2.26) on parcels worth less than 150 euros imported into the bloc. About 4.6 billion parcels entered the EU last year, with the vast majority coming from China. Earlier this month President Donald Trump reduced the tariffs on Chinese imports from 120% to 54%, and maintained the flat fee of $100 per postal item for packages worth less than $800. Europe's move is a blow to Chinese fast fashion giants such as Shein and Temu, but less so than ending the "de minimis" loophole that had allowed US import duties to be avoided. Customs and Border Protection data shows that de minimis shipments account for more than 90% of all cargo entering the US. Trump's move means consumers cannot expect a return to the golden era of cheap clothes and fast delivery. Rebecca Homkes, a lecturer at London Business School, said: "Consumers will see higher prices and potentially longer shipping times as Shein and others move from direct shipping to sending volumes of goods in containers to the USA to be re-sent from their USA-based warehousing." In the meantime, shoppers are likely to face fewer options, longer wait times, and fewer bargains. "The pain will be suffered by lower-income households who relied on small parcels from abroad to stretch the family budget," said Gary C. Hufbauer of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. "This will harm a lot of people who belong to Trump's political base. It makes no sense." Raj Bhala, Brenneisen Distinguished Professor at the University of Kansas, said the previous 120% level was "essentially prohibitive, so Temu and Shein couldn't ship into the US." There was no "some chance of retailers not decoupling entirely, perhaps if these retailers can absorb some of that 54% tariff."

#AViewFrom Henkel North America: Greenville, SC
#AViewFrom Henkel North America series Did you know that Henkel North America employs approximately 8,000 employees in more than 70 sites across the U.S. and Canada? Collectively, these sites support two business units: Adhesive Technologies and Consumer Brands. NORTHAMPTON, MA / / May 15, 2025 / Our #AViewFrom series features select locations, sharing information and facts about our sites across Henkel North America. Take a stroll down the grocery store aisle, and you'll see numerous products that use water-based adhesives that are produced at Henkel's Greenville, South Carolina manufacturing facility. If an e-tailer package is delivered to your front door, you also benefit from adhesive-related products manufactured in this facility. From tissue to paper towels and bottle labels to Amazon® padded mailers, adhesive materials made by the team at this site are in all of these products and likely part of your life. Learn more in this segment of #AViewFrom: Greenville, SC. Henkel's Greenville, SC operation runs 24 hours a day, five days a week, with three production shifts, making water-based adhesives and unique packaging formulations that are used for tissue and paper towel production, bottle labeling, food package sealing, and, perhaps most famously, durable impact-resistant - yet recyclable - padded mailers for the world's largest e-tailers. Within this 82,000 sq. ft. facility, the tight-knit group of 46 employees manufactures EPIX® brand packaging chemistries, AQUENCE® brand tissue and towel adhesives, and LOCTITE® brand materials that seal food packages and secure paper and foil labels to glass and plastic bottles. Greenville supports Henkel Adhesive Technologies' packaging and consumer goods business units, shipping products worldwide from this southeastern USA-based site. "Our team is so focused and passionate about our work, ensuring we consistently produce the highest-quality materials." Over 500 adhesive products are made at the Greenville plant, and manufacturing that many distinct formulations takes tremendous knowledge, dedication, and teamwork. This group of employees - many who have worked here for over 20 years - is extraordinary; they support each other, take great pride in a job well done, and have fun together! The results speak for themselves. It's why we hold an incredible safety record and enthusiastically take on products that outgrow other facilities." Constructed in 1969, the Greenville facility joined the Henkel network in 2004 as part of the company's purchase of Sovereign Specialty Chemicals. Within the plant, four manufacturing cells house 21 kettles that, in 2024, produced 36 million kgs of material. Like all Henkel operations, sustainability is imperative, and Greenville's NoWa (no waste) project is making significant progress toward resource conservation. Water consumption has been cut in half, water reuse programs are in place, the transition to 100% LED lighting is underway, and digital sensors are installed throughout the facility to monitor and analyze energy use to drive efficiency. Greenville is also a zero-waste-to-landfill facility, diverting nearly all its production waste away from landfill sites for reuse or energy conversion. Safety is the top priority for employees at Greenville, and the team takes great pride in the facility's excellent safety performance and culture. "We want everyone to go home exactly the way they came to work, which is why the plant's safety culture is so vital." "The engagement in safety protocols is not a top-down directive; it is a mindset that our entire organization embraces because we sincerely care about each other and this plant's success." COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP In an initiative that delivers sustainability and community enrichment, Henkel's Greenville plant has partnered with a local non-profit to repurpose the site's wooden pallets. "Instead of disposing of pallets or spending fuel transporting them far from our site, we donate them to an animal refuge in our community called Izzie's Pond," explains Jackson Tarleton, Sustainability Specialist. Partnering to Recycle Pallets The Greenville plant, and the nearby Enoree, South Carolina adhesives facility, donate used wooden pallets to Izzie's Pond, a nonprofit that sells some of the pallets to help fund its wildlife rescue and rehabilitation activities and uses others to house wildlife rescues. Henkel's donation of items that would otherwise be treated as waste has enabled Izzie's Pond to maintain the critical medical care to over 500 animals injured or orphaned while minimizing the need to dispose of the pallets as landfill waste. "Some of the pallets are used to construct enclosures that house rescued animals until they are rehabilitated and can return to the wild. It's gratifying to be a part of this effort, where animals -- and our pallets! -- get a second chance." CULTURE AND CAREER Greenville's small size is advantageous for employees eager to learn, move within departments, and gain valuable, marketable knowledge. "Willingness to embrace new challenges offered at our Greenville site has led to new opportunities, and I'm a prime example." Kory Anderson came to Henkel after beginning his career in finance. "I started in quality control and am now the materials coordinator. I'm also part of our culture-based safety and sustainability teams and have even participated in some plant communications projects. There's no lack of opportunity to upskill!" Greenville coworkers' compassion and caring for each other is palpable; colleagues describe each other as family. Robert Johnson, a production operator affectionately known as 'RJ', is one of them. After a medical incident at home led to emergency surgery, RJ was deeply touched - but not surprised - by what he witnessed following his procedure. "When I woke up, the plant management team was by my bedside. I have no immediate family in this area, but I have my Henkel family. The sincere support of everyone at this site is heartwarming and makes going to work every day a joy."
