The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the world governing body of cricket. It was founded as the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1909 by representatives from Australia, England and South Africa. It was renamed as the International Cricket Conference in 1965, and took up its current name in 1987.
The ICC has 104 member nations currently: 12 Full Members that play Test matches, and 92 Associate Members. It organises world championship events such as World Test Championship, Cricket World Cup, Women’s Cricket World Cup, ICC T20 World Cup, ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
It also appoints the umpires and referees that officiate at all sanctioned Test matches, One Day International and Twenty20 Internationals. It promulgates the ICC Code of Conduct, which sets professional standards of discipline for international cricket, and also co-ordinates action against corruption and match-fixing through its Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU).

International Cricket Council – ICC – Logo
The ICC does not control bilateral fixtures between member countries, which include all Test matches outside of the World Test Championship final. It also does not govern domestic cricket within member countries. It does not make or alter the laws of the game, which have remained under the governance of Marylebone Cricket Club since 1788.
Since its creation, the ICC had the 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-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.
