Bali, 11 November: The International Cricket Council (ICC) begins its Board meetings here, running from November 11 to 15. Eight ICC Committees will meet across the four-day programme, with the ICC and IBC Board meetings concluding proceedings.
The ICC World Test Championship matchups will be proposed for the 2027-29 and 2029-31 cycles, while windows for all established ICC major men’s events for 2028-35 will be submitted for approval, the ICC said in a release.
It added that, with several qualifying events under consideration, the ICC Development Committee has played a key role in designing ICC event qualification frameworks that will provide greater context and competitiveness at every stage of the qualification journey, particularly for emerging nations.
Discussions will include the initial feedback from the Franchise League Review Group and the Governance Review Committee, both established at the ICC Annual Conference in July 2026.
The Franchise League Review Group has set out to consider ways to enhance the current ICC sanctioning framework of regulations, further protecting and strengthening the ecosystem to address new challenges arising from the increasing number of franchise leagues.
Meanwhile, the Governance Review Committee will report its initial recommendations after completing a thorough review of the ICC’s governance.
Elsewhere, the Task Force for Afghan refugee women cricketers will present proposed next steps for the Development Pathway Programme to the ICC Board. The ICC’s DRS Accreditation Programme will also be considered by the CEC and ICC Board.
