Hello steemians,
Hope all of the member are well and lead a happy life.All you know that cricket is the most popular game.Today I will try to give you a short brief about ICC.You know that ICC is crontrolling the cricket throughout the world.
The ICC is world cricket's administration . it's liable for managing the playing conditions and Code of Conduct for international fixtures, expanding the sport and organising the main international tournaments, including the planet Cup. Its mission statement says the ICC "will lead by promoting the sport as a worldwide sport, protecting the spirit of cricket and optimising commercial opportunities for the advantage of the sport ."
Ten national governing bodies are currently Full Members of the ICC; full membership qualifies a nation (or geographic area) to play official Test matches. A candidate for full membership must meet variety of playing and administrative criteria, after which elevation is set by a vote among existing Full Members. There also are currently 33 Associate Members (non-Test-playing nations or geographic areas where cricket is firmly established and organised) and 55 Affiliate Members (other countries or geographic areas where the ICC recognises that cricket is played in accordance with the Laws).
The ICC was founded in 1909 because the Imperial Cricket Conference by three foundation members: England, Australia and South Africa |African country|African nation"> South Africa . Other countries (or geographic areas) became Full Members and thus acquired Test-match status as follows: India, New Zealand and West Indies in 1926, Pakistan in 1952, Sri Lanka in 1981, Zimbabwe in 1992 and Bangladesh in 2000. South Africa ceased to be a member on leaving the Commonwealth in 1961, but was re-elected as a Full Member in 1991.
In 1965, the Conference was renamed the International Cricket Conference and new rules permitted the election of nations from outside the Commonwealth for the primary time. the primary Associate members (Fiji and USA), who had diluted voting rights, were admitted. However, foundation members retained a veto over all resolutions.
In 1989, the Conference was again renamed without changing its initials. The new International Cricket Council adopted revised rules, aimed toward producing an organisation which could make a bigger number of binding decisions, instead of simply make recommendations to national governing bodies. In 1993, the Council, which had previously been administered by MCC, gained its own secretariat and chief executive, though its headquarters remained at Lord's. The category of Foundation Member was abolished. Sir Clyde Walcott became the primary non-British chairman.

In 1997, the Council became an incorporated body, with an executive board, and a president rather than a md . One Australian, Malcolm Speed, succeeded another, David Richards, as chief executive in July 2001. The ICC remained at Lord's, with a billboard base in Monaco, although in 2005 it moved to Dubai, where it's believed there would be organisational and tax advantages.
- Constitution
President: Each Full Member has the proper , by rotation, to appoint ICC's president. In 2006 the method was briefly changed and a committee appointed to pick subsequent president, but they failed at the primary attempt, unable to separate Sharad Pawar from India and David Morgan from England, and therefore the selection reverted to rotation between six regions - India/Sri Lanka, Pakistan/Bangladesh, West Indies/England, Australia/New Zealand, South Africa/Zimbabwe then a choice from the Associates and Affiliates.
