International Cricket Council, also known as ICC, is a privately owned entity headquartered in UAE. Founded in 1909, the organization, with approximately 290 employees, reported $728.5M in revenue as of 2024 and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The council specializes in Spectator Sports, serving as the global governing body of cricket, originally established by representatives from Australia, England, and South Africa.
On June 28, 2026, England players Kate Cross and former spinner Alex Hartley criticized the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Women's T20 World Cup semifinal scheduling rule, arguing that Rule 16.10.2 unfairly favors India by guaranteeing them the first semifinal if they qualify, regardless of group-stage finishing position, to prioritize broadcasting revenue. Previously, on June 25, the ICC announced that attendances at the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 in the United Kingdom had exceeded 125,000, marking it as the highest-selling and a record-breaking tournament in the event's history. This follows news from June 21 that the ICC may strip Lord's Cricket Ground of the World Test Championship (WTC) final 2027 hosting rights, potentially removing one of world cricket's most prestigious fixtures from the iconic venue two years after it hosted the WTC final between Australia and South Africa. Earlier, on June 16, New Zealand, the reigning title holders, looked to recover from an early tournament loss at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, as they prepared to face Sri Lanka in Southampton to get their defense back on track.
