USA: Stuart Law sacked as coach after World Cup League 2 defeat – BBC

Stuart Law played 54 one-day internationals and one Test for Australia
Former Australia batter Stuart Law has been sacked as coach of the men's USA national team.
Law was relieved of his duties after USA's 10-wicket defeat by Scotland in a one-day international qualifying match for the 2027 50-over World Cup.
He was only six months into a three-year contract with USA Cricket.
USA were bowled out for 144 in the opening match of the World Cup League 2 in Dallas on Friday.
Andrew Umeed then hit an unbeaten 98 for Scotland as they knocked off the runs at the Grand Prairie Stadium in 24.5 overs.
The US had come into the match on the back of a 3-0 defeat by Nepal in a T20 series.
USA face Nepal in the second match of the World Cup League 2 on Sunday.
Law, 56, was appointed USA coach in April and oversaw a memorable T20 World Cup campaign which the country co-hosted with the West Indies.
USA pulled off one of the biggest shocks in cricket history during the tournament by beating Pakistan in Dallas, and went on to qualify for the Super 8s.
Law has previously coached Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies and Afghanistan.
BBC Sport has approached USA Cricket for comment.
