The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the international governing body of cricket. It
was founded as the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1909 by representatives from England,
Australia and South Africa, renamed the International Cricket Conference in 1965, and
took up its current name in 1989.
The ICC has 106 members: 10 Full Members that play Test matches, 37 Associate Members,
[2]
and 59 Affiliate Members.[3] The ICC is responsible for the organisation and governance of
cricket's major international tournaments, most notably the 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,[4] and also co-ordinates
action against corruption and match-fixing through its Anti-Corruption and Security Unit
(ACSU). The ICC does not control bilateral fixtures between member countries (which
include all Test matches), it does not govern domestic cricket in member countries, and it
does not make the laws of the game, which remain under the control of the Marylebone
Cricket Club.
The ICC currently has no President; Mustafa Kamal, the former president of the Bangladesh
Cricket Board, was the President of the ICC, from 2012[5] until he resigned in April 2015.[1]

The current CEO is David Richardson, who succeeded Haroon Lorgat.[6] On 26 June 2014, N.
