  On 15 June 1909 members from England, Australia and South Africa met at Lord's and established the Imperial Cricket Conference. Association was confined to the ruling bodies of cricket within the British State where Test cricket was played.

That year it was also comply to make a change in membership, with election being for; "ruling bodies of cricket in countries within the state to which cricket teams are sent, or which send teams to England." However the United States did not meet these touchstone and was not made a member. After the formation of Islamic Republic of Pakistan in 1947, it was given Test status in 1952, and becoming the seventh Test-playing nation.

In the end of 1965, ICC was renamed from International Cricket Conference to International Cricket Conference and new rules ratify to empowering the election of countries from outside the Commonwealth. This led to the enlargement of the Conference, with the admission of Associated Members. Associates were each designate to one vote, while the Foundation and Full Members were designate to two votes on ICC resolutions.

In year1981Sri Lanka was singed in as a Full Member, In 1989, new rules were approved and the current name, the International Cricket Council came into existence In year 1991 South Africa was re-elected as a Full Member of the ICC, In 1992 by the admission of Zimbabwe as the ninth Test-playing nation of ICC.

Location:

In the start Lord's Cricket Ground as its home, and from 1993 had its official offices in the "Clock Tower" building at the nursery end of the ground. As not all associated countries had double-tax agreements with England, it was necessary to protect cricket's fund by creating a company, ICC buildup (International) Pty Ltd – known as IDI, outside the UK.

In 23rd August 2005 the ICC reallocated its offices to Dubai, and closed its offices at Lord's and Monaco. The principal driver of the ICC's move to Dubai was the pleasure to bring its main employees together in one tax efficient location, a second reason was the wish to move offices closer to the increasingly important new hubs of cricketing power in South Asia.

Rules And Regulation:

  The International Cricket Council monitor playing conditions, such as bowling reviews, and other ICC governance. All though the ICC doesn't have copyright to the laws of cricket and only the MCC have the right to change the laws, nowadays this would mostly only be done after dialogue with the game's global governing body, the ICC.

In 2008 the ICC charge 19 fines on players.

 

Umpires and referees:

 

The ICC assigns international umpires and Match referees who commands monitors at all Test matches, One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. The ICC has 3 panels of umpires: namely

 

The Elite Panel consists of twelve umpires. In theory, two umpires from these 12 officiate at every Test match, while one Elite Panel umpire stands in One day International matches together with an umpire from the International Panel. In tradition, members of the International Panel stand in occasional Test matches, as this is viewed as a good opportunity to see whether they can handle at the Test level, and whether they should be inflated to the Elite Panel. The Elite Panel are full-time employees of the ICC, although do still, very hardly umpire first-class cricket in their country of residence.
