The International Cricket Council is cricket’s global governing body, responsible for the sport’s international playing conditions, major competitions, and national-member administration.

Laws of Cricket: The rules of cricket, maintained by the Marylebone Cricket Club and applied internationally with permitted variations. The ICC builds international playing conditions on this shared foundation of cricket law.

Jagmohan Dalmiya: An Indian cricket administrator who served as ICC president from 1997 to 2000. His presidency reflected the growing influence of Asian cricket within the council.
Cricket and apartheid: The entanglement of cricket with apartheid-era racial segregation and international sporting sanctions. The council’s handling of South Africa became a defining test of its governance.
ICC playing conditions: Competition-specific rules that supplement cricket’s Laws for matches administered by the ICC. They translate the Laws into enforceable rules for ICC tournaments and international formats.
ICC Men's T20 World Cup: The International Cricket Council’s global Twenty20 championship for men’s national teams. The tournament showcases the council’s shortest senior international format.
Marylebone Cricket Club: An English cricket club that has served as guardian of cricket’s Laws since the eighteenth century. Its authority over the Laws shaped the framework inherited by international cricket’s governing body.
