the sport of cricket. It was founded originally as the Imperial Cricket
Conference in the year 1909 by the representatives of South Africa, Australia,
and England. It was later rechristened as the International Cricket Conference
in the year 1965. It was in the year 1985 that it became to be known as the
International Cricket Council. ICC is in charge of the governance and
organizing of major cricket tournaments at the International level. The ICC
presently has 106 members in which 10 members are designated as Full Members
that are entitled to play Test Matches; 38 Associate Members, and finally 57 Affiliate
Members.
The ICC is the body responsible for the
organization and management of major international cricket tournaments,
particularly the Cricket World Cup. It is also responsible for the appointment
of referees and umpires for all sectioned One Day International, test matches,
and T20 Internationals. It has promulgated the ICC Code of Conduct, which
serves as the principal framework prescribing professional discipline
standards. ICC is however not responsible for the governance of domestic cricket
matches organized by member countries. Additionally, it does not create the
laws of the game, which is the responsibility of the Marylebone Cricket Club.
In the organizational set-up, the Chairman is the
person at the helm of the Board of Directors. The function of the ICC President
is generally honorary. The ICC obtains income from various tournaments it
conducts, particularly from the Cricket World Cup. The income so accumulated is
distributed among its members. The primary sources are television rights and
sponsorship, which have generated income in billions. It, however, does not
generate income from One Day International, T20, and Test matches, as these are
conducted by member nations. It is planning to come up with a number of
International events that can contribute to the generating revenue.
ICC Full Form also refers
to International Criminal Court, which is a permanent and
independent court that takes care of cases of International concerns with most
