ICCC

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the global governing body for cricket. Founded in 1909 as the Imperial Cricket Conference, it was renamed the International Cricket Conference in 1965 and finally the International Cricket Council in 1987. The ICC is responsible for the development and administration of cricket worldwide, setting the rules of the game, and organizing major international tournaments, most notably the Cricket World Cup, the ICC T20 World Cup, and the ICC Champions Trophy.

The ICC has 108 member nations, comprising 12 Full Members and 96 Associate Members. Full Members are those nations that play Test cricket, the longest and most traditional format of the game. Associate Members are developing cricket nations that do not yet play Test cricket but are recognized by the ICC for their potential and commitment to the sport. The ICC's primary objectives include promoting the sport, ensuring fair play, and developing cricket at all levels. It also works to maintain the integrity of the game by combating corruption and doping. The ICC headquarters are located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Its current chairman is Greg Barclay.
