==History==
=== 1909–1963 – Imperial Cricket Conference ===

On 30 November 1907, [[Abe Bailey]], the President of the South African Cricket Association, wrote a letter to the [[Marylebone Cricket Club]]'s (MCC, England) secretary, [[Francis Lacey]]. Bailey suggested the formation of an 'Imperial Cricket Board'. In the letter, he suggested that the board would be responsible for the formulation of rules and regulations that would govern the bilateral international matches of the three members, Australia, England and South Africa. Bailey wanted to host a Triangular Test series among the participant countries in South Africa. However, Australia rejected the offer. Still, Bailey did not lose hope. He saw an opportunity of getting the three members together during Australia's tour of England in 1909. After continued lobbying and efforts, Bailey was successful.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/the-icc/history-of-icc/1909-1963|title=International Cricket Council|website=icc-cricket.com|language=en|access-date=10 July 2018}}</ref>

On 15 June 1909, representatives from [[England cricket team|England]], [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] met at [[Lord's]] and founded the ''Imperial Cricket Conference''. A month later, a second meeting between the three members was held. The rules were agreed upon amongst the nations, and the first-ever Tri-Test series was decided to be held in England in 1912.<ref name=":0"/>

In 1926, [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]], [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]] and [[India national cricket team|India]] were elected as Full Members, doubling the number of Test-playing nations to six. After the formation of [[Pakistan]] in 1947, it was given [[Test cricket|Test status]] five years later in 1952, becoming the seventh Test-playing, nation. In May 1961, South Africa left the Commonwealth and therefore lost membership.<ref name=":0"/>

=== 1964–1988 – International Cricket Conference ===

In 1964, the ICC agreed to include non-Test playing countries. The following year, the ICC changed its name to the International Cricket Conference. The [[United States|US]], [[Sri Lanka|Ceylon]] (who later became [[Sri Lanka]]) and [[Fiji]] were admitted as Associates, a new class of members.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/the-icc/history-of-icc/1964-1988|title=International Cricket Council|website=icc-cricket.com|language=en|access-date=12 July 2018}}</ref> In 1968, [[Denmark]], [[Bermuda]], [[Netherlands]], and [[East Africa]] were admitted as Associates, while South Africa had still not applied to rejoin the ICC.

In 1969, the basic rules of ICC were amended. At the 1971 meeting, the idea of organizing a World Cup was introduced. At the 1973 meeting, it was decided that a World Cup would be played in 1975 in England. The six Test-playing nations and [[East Africa]] and [[Sri Lanka]] were invited to take part.<ref name=":1"/>

New members were added frequently during this period: [[Israel]] and [[Singapore]] in 1974, [[West Africa]] in 1976, [[Bangladesh]] in 1977, [[Papua New Guinea|Papua-New Guinea]] in 1978, were admitted as Associates. [[South Africa]] applied to rejoin, but their application was rejected.

In 1981, [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] was promoted to a Full Member, and they played their first Test in 1982.

In 1984, a third class of membership (Affiliate) was introduced. [[Italy]] was the first such member, followed by [[Switzerland]] in 1985. In 1987, [[the Bahamas]] and [[France]] were admitted, followed by [[Nepal]] in 1988.

=== 1989–present – International Cricket Council ===
At the July 1989 meeting, the ICC renamed itself as the International Cricket Council, and the tradition of the MCC President automatically becoming the Chairman of ICC was abolished.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/the-icc/history-of-icc/1989-present|title=International Cricket Council|website=icc-cricket.com|language=en|access-date=23 July 2018}}</ref>

In 1990, [[United Arab Emirates|UAE]] joined as an Associate.

In 1991, for the first time in ICC history, the meeting was held away from [[England]], in [[Melbourne]], Australia. [[South Africa]] was re-elected as a Full Member of the ICC in July, following the end of [[apartheid]].

In 1992, [[Zimbabwe Cricket|Zimbabwe]] was admitted as the ninth Full Member. [[Namibia]] joined as an Associate member. [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Brunei]] and [[Spain]] all joined as Affiliates.

In 1993, the position of ''Chief Executive of ICC'' was created; [[David Richards (cricket administrator)|David Richards]] of the Australian Cricket Board was the first person appointed to the position. In July, [[Clyde Walcott|Sir Clyde Walcott]], from Barbados, was elected as the first non-British Chairman. The emergence of new technology saw the introduction of a [[third umpire]] who was equipped with video playback facilities. By 1995, TV replays were made available for run-outs and stumpings in Test matches, with the third umpire required to signal out or not out with red and green lights respectively. The following year, the cameras were used to determine if the ball had crossed the boundary. In 1997 decisions on the cleanness of catches could be referred to the third umpire. This year also saw the introduction of the [[Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method|Duckworth-Lewis method]], a way of adjusting targets in rain-affected ODI matches.

In 2000, [[Bangladesh Cricket Board|Bangladesh]] was admitted as the tenth Full Member of the International Cricket Council.

In 2005, ICC moved its new headquarters to [[Dubai]].

In 2017, [[Afghanistan Cricket Board|Afghanistan]] and [[Cricket Ireland|Ireland]] were admitted as the eleventh and twelfth Full Members of the International Cricket Council after a unanimous vote at the ICC Full Council meeting at [[The Oval]]. Affiliate Membership was also abolished, with all existing Affiliate Members becoming Associate Members.

In 2018, all Women's T20 matches were elevated to [[Women's Twenty20 International]] status. In 2019, all Men's T20 matches were elevated to [[Twenty20 International]] status.

In July 2022, [[Cricket in Cambodia|Cambodia]], [[Ivory Coast|Cote D'Ivoire]], and [[Cricket Federation of Uzbekistan|Uzbekistan]] were granted associate member status by the ICC.<ref>{{cite news |title=Three new countries receive ICC Membership status |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2690683 |access-date=27 July 2022 |work=icc-cricket.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Kumar |first=Manoj |title=Cambodia, Uzbekistan and Cote D'Ivoire receive membership status from ICC |url=https://www.crictracker.com/cambodia-uzbekistan-and-cote-divoire-receive-membership-status-from-icc/ |access-date=27 July 2022 |work=CricTracker |date=27 July 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

The 98 governing bodies in countries where cricket is firmly established and organized, but have not been granted full membership, are called associate members.

Currently, eight associate teams have temporary men's ODI status until 2027. These teams are one tier above the rest of the associate teams.

[[Image:ICC Dubai 1.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The ICC's offices in [[Dubai]]]]
Since its creation, the ICC had the [[Lord's|Lord's Cricket Ground]] as its home, and in 1993 moved its offices to the "Clock Tower" building at the nursery end of the ground. The independently run ICC was funded initially by commercial exploitation of the rights to the World Cup of One Day International cricket. As not all Member countries had [[Double taxation|double-tax agreements]] with the United Kingdom, it was necessary to protect cricket's revenues by creating a company, ICC Development (International) Pvt. Ltd, known as IDI outside the UK. This was established in January 1994 and was based in Monaco.{{Citation needed paragraph|date=September 2021}}

For the remainder of the nineties, the administration of IDI was a modest affair. But with the negotiation of a bundle of rights to all ICC events from 2001 to 2008, revenues available to International cricket and the ICC member countries rose substantially. This led to a growth in the number of commercial staff employed by IDI in Monaco. It also had the disadvantage that the council's cricket administrators, who remained at Lord's, were separated from their commercial colleagues in Monaco. The Council decided to seek ways of bringing all of their staff together in one office while protecting their commercial income from tax.{{Citation needed paragraph|date=September 2021}}

The option of staying at Lord's was investigated and a request was made, through [[Sport England]], to the British Government to allow the ICC to have all its personnel (including those working on commercial matters) in London – but be given special exemption from paying UK [[corporation tax]] on its commercial income. The British Government was unwilling to create a precedent and would not agree to this request. As a consequence, the ICC examined other locations and eventually settled on the city of [[Dubai]] in the [[United Arab Emirates]]. The ICC is also registered in [[British Virgin Islands]]. In August 2005, the ICC moved its offices to [[Dubai]], and subsequently closed its offices at Lord's and Monaco. The move to Dubai was made after an 11–1 vote by the ICC's executive board in favour.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/4326601.stm | work=BBC News | title=Cricket chiefs move base to Dubai | date=7 March 2005}}</ref>

While the principal driver of the ICC's move to [[Dubai]] was the wish to bring its main employees together in one tax-efficient location, a secondary reason was the wish to move offices closer to the increasingly important new centres of [[Cricket in South Asia|cricketing power in South Asia]]. Lord's had been a logical venue when the ICC had been administered by the [[Marylebone Cricket Club]] (MCC) (a situation that lasted until 1993). But the growing power of India and Pakistan in world cricket had made the continued control of international cricket by a British private members club (the MCC) anachronistic and unsustainable. A direct consequence of the changes and reforms instituted in 1993 was eventually to be the move away from Lord's to a more neutral venue.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/GD23Df05.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050422140355/http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/GD23Df05.html|url-status=unfit|archive-date=22 April 2005|title= Cricket's home moves closer to the money|work=[[Asia Times Online]]| date=23 April 2005|access-date=18 August 2017}}</ref>

==Income generation==
[[File:ICC logo 2010.jpg|thumb|Variant ICC Logo with old motto]]
The ICC generates income from the tournaments it organises, primarily the [[Cricket World Cup]], and it distributes the majority of that income to its members. Sponsorship and television rights of the World Cup brought in over US$1.6&nbsp;billion between 2007 and 2015, by far the ICC's main source of income.<ref>{{cite web |date=9 December 2006 |title=ICC rights go to ESPN-Star |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-rights-go-to-espn-star-271994 |access-date=2025-10-10 |work=[[Cricinfo]] |publisher=[[ESPN]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=18 January 2007 |title=ICC set to cash in on sponsorship rights |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-set-to-cash-in-on-sponsorship-rights-276853 |access-date=2025-10-10 |work=[[Cricinfo]] |publisher=[[ESPN]]}}</ref> In the nine-month accounting period to 31 December 2007 the ICC had operating income of $12.66&nbsp;million, mainly from member subscriptions and sponsorship. In contrast, event income was [[United States dollar|US$]]285.87&nbsp;million, including $239&nbsp;million from the 2007 World Cup. There was also investment income of $6.695&nbsp;million in the period. In 2022 ICC generated US$208,375,000 as a net income.<ref>[https://resources.pulse.icc-cricket.com/ICC/document/2023/05/10/87728b20-b1ea-469d-871b-f42d5bfee10f/ICC-Consolidated-Financial-Statements-2022.pdf THE INTERNATIONAL CRICKET COUNCIL LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS] 31 December 2022</ref>

The ICC has no income streams from the bilateral international cricket matches ([[Test cricket|Test matches]], [[One Day International]] and [[Twenty20 International]]s), that account for the great majority of the international playing schedule, as they are owned and run by its members. It has sought to create other new events to augment its World Cup revenues. These include the [[ICC Champions Trophy]] and the [[2005 ICC Super Series|ICC Super Series]] played in Australia in 2005. However, these events have not been as successful as the ICC hoped. The Super Series was widely seen as a failure and is not expected to be repeated, and India called for the Champions Trophy to be scrapped in 2006.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/biggest-player-in-the-game-flexes-muscle/2006/01/06/1136387626870.html | location=Melbourne | work=[[The Age]] | title=Biggest player in the game flexes muscle | date=7 January 2006}}</ref> The [[2004 ICC Champions Trophy|Champions Trophy 2004]] event was referred to in ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden 2005]]'' by the editor as a "turkey of a tournament" and a "fiasco"; although the [[2006 ICC Champions Trophy|2006 event]] was seen as a greater success due to a new format.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/267074.html |title=ICC President thanks India for "outstanding" ICC Champions Trophy | author=Murgatroyd, Brian / ICC|publisher=ESPN | work=Cricinfo |date= 6 November 2006|access-date=18 August 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/267074.html |title=When the cricket did all the talking |publisher=ESPN | work=Cricinfo |date= 7 November 2006|access-date=18 August 2017}}</ref>

The [[Men's T20 World Cup|ICC World Twenty20]], first played [[2007 World Twenty20|in 2007]], was a success. The ICC's current plan is to have an international tournament every year, with a Twenty20 World Cup played in even number years, the World Cup continuing to be held the year before the [[Summer Olympic Games|Olympic Games]], and the ICC Champions Trophy in the remaining year of the cycle. This arrangement began in 2022.

== Rules and regulation ==
The International Cricket Council oversees playing conditions, bowling reviews, and other ICC regulations. The ICC does not have copyright to the ''[[Laws of Cricket]]'': only the [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]] may change the Laws, though this is usually done in consultation with the game's global governing body.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}} The ICC maintains a set of playing conditions for international cricket which make slight amendments to the Laws. They also have a "[[ICC Cricket Code of Conduct|Code of Conduct]]" to which teams and players in international matches are required to adhere. Where breaches of this code occur the ICC can apply sanctions, usually fines. In 2008, the ICC imposed 19 penalties on players. ICC announces changes to Playing Conditions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ICC announces changes to Playing Conditions |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/3345813 |access-date=2023-07-04 |website=icc-cricket.com |language=en}}</ref>

==Umpires and referees==
The ICC appoints international [[umpire (cricket)|umpires]] and [[match referee]]s who officiate at all sanctioned Test matches, One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. The ICC operates three panels of umpires: the [[Elite Panel of ICC Umpires|Elite Panel]], the [[International Panel of ICC Umpires|International Panel]], and the [[Development Panel of ICC Umpires|Associates and Affiliates Panel]].

As of March 2012, the Elite Panel included twelve umpires. In theory, two umpires from the Elite Panel officiate at every Test match, while one Elite Panel umpire stands in ODI matches together with an umpire from the International Panel. In practice, members of the International Panel stand in occasional Test matches, as this is viewed an excellent good opportunity to see whether they can cope at the Test level and whether they should be elevated to the Elite Panel. Members of the Elite Panel are full-time employees of the ICC, although they do still, very occasionally, umpire [[first-class cricket]] in their country of residence. The average annual officiating schedule for Elite Umpires is 8–10 Test matches and 10–15 ODIs, a potential on-field workload of 75 days per year, plus travel and preparation time.<ref>{{cite web|title=Match officials|url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/about/42/match-officials|publisher=icc-cricket.com|access-date=18 November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131003001326/http://www.icc-cricket.com/about/42/match-officials|archive-date=3 October 2013}}</ref>

The International Panel is made up of officials nominated from each of the ten Test-playing cricket boards. The Panel Members officiate in ODI matches in their home country, and assist the Elite Panel at peak times in the cricket calendar when they can be appointed to overseas ODI and Test matches. International Panel members also undertake overseas umpiring assignments such as the ICC [[Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup|Under-19 Cricket World Cup]] to improve their knowledge and understanding of overseas condition, and help them prepare for possible promotion to the Elite Panel. Some of these umpires also officiate in the Cricket World Cup. Each of the Test cricket boards nominates a "third umpire" who can be called upon to review certain on-field decisions through instant television replays. All third umpires are first-class umpires in their own country, and the role is seen as a step onto the International Panel, and then the Elite Panel.<ref>{{cite web|title=Emirates International Panel of ICC Umpires|url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/about/88/match-officials/emirates-international-panel-of-icc-umpires|publisher=icc-cricket.com|access-date=18 November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304044124/http://www.icc-cricket.com/about/88/match-officials/emirates-international-panel-of-icc-umpires|archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref>

The inaugural ICC Associate and Affiliate International Umpires Panel was formed in June 2006. It superseded the ICC Associate and Affiliate International Umpires Panel, created in 2005, and serves as the pinnacle for umpires from non-Test-playing Members, with selection achieved through each of the five ICC Development Program Regional Umpires Panels.

Members of the Associate and Affiliate International Umpires Panel are eligible for appointments to ODIs involving ICC Associate Members, ICC Intercontinental Cup matches and other Associate and Affiliate tournaments. High-performing umpires may also be considered for other ICC events, including the ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup, and could also be invited to be involved in the ICC Champions Trophy and ICC Cricket World Cup.<ref>{{cite web|title=ICC Associate and Affiliate International Umpires Panel|url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/about/89/match-officials/icc-associate-and-affiliate-international-umpires-panel|publisher=icc-cricket.com|access-date=18 November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160602070629/http://www.icc-cricket.com/about/89/match-officials/icc-associate-and-affiliate-international-umpires-panel|archive-date=2 June 2016}}</ref>

There is also an [[Elite Panel of ICC Referees]] who act as the independent representative of the ICC at all Test and ODI matches. As of January 2009, it had 6 members, all highly experienced former international cricketers. The Referees do not have the power to report players or officials (which has to be done by the umpires), but they are responsible for conducting hearings under the ICC Code of Conduct and imposing penalties as required at matches, ranging from an official reprimand to a lifetime ban from cricket. Decisions can be appealed, but the original decision is upheld in most cases.

The Council failed to achieve consensus among the cricket-playing nations—as of June 2012—on the universal application of an Umpire's Decision Review System, due to opposition by BCCI. It will continue to be applied subject to mutual agreement of the playing countries.<ref>{{cite news| url= http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-27/top-stories/32440276_1_drs-ball-tracking-icc-executive-board| archive-url= https://archive.today/20130126142440/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-27/top-stories/32440276_1_drs-ball-tracking-icc-executive-board| url-status= dead| archive-date= 26 January 2013| title= No decision yet on universal application of DRS|work=[[The Times of India]] |date=27 June 2012}}</ref> In July 2012, ICC decided to send a delegation to show the ball tracking research done by Ed Rosten, an expert on computer vision and technology, to BCCI to remove the skepticism about the use of DRS technology.<ref>{{cite news| url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/top-stories/Research-on-DRS-to-be-shown-to-BCCI/articleshow/14799014.cms| archive-url= https://archive.today/20130126182508/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-10/top-stories/32617106_1_expert-in-computer-vision-icc-management-decision-review-system| url-status= live| archive-date= 26 January 2013| title= Research on DRS to be shown to BCCI| date= 10 July 2012 |work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Ireland and Afghanistan ICC newest full members amid wide-ranging governance reform|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/422449|website=icc-cricket.com|publisher=ICC|access-date=22 June 2017}}</ref>

The [[ICC Awards#Development Awards|ICC Development Awards]] were established in 2002 to celebrate the world-leading initiatives and innovative programmes delivered by ICC Members to grow the game around the globe.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Media Release |date=24 April 2024 |title=Associate Nations honoured as ICC Development Awards 2023 Regional Winners revealed |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/associate-nations-honoured-as-icc-development-awards-2023-regional-winners-revealed-x0472 |website=International Cricket Council}}</ref>

==Anti-corruption and security==
The ICC has also had to deal with drugs and [[Betting controversies in cricket|bribery scandals]] involving top cricketers. Following the corruption scandals by cricketers connected with the legal and illegal [[Bookmaker|bookmaking]] markets, the ICC set up an Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) in 2000 under the retired [[Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis|Commissioner]] of London's [[Metropolitan Police]], [[Lord Condon]]. Among the corruption on which they have reported was that of former [[List of South Africa national cricket captains|South African captain]] [[Hansie Cronje]] who had accepted substantial sums of money from an Indian bookmaker for under-performing or ensuring that certain matches had a pre-determined result. Similarly, the former [[List of India national cricket captains|Indian captain]] [[Mohammad Azharuddin]] and [[Ajay Jadeja]] were investigated, found guilty of match-fixing, and banned from playing cricket (for life and for five years, respectively).
