The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the world governing body of cricket. It was founded as the

renamed as the International Cricket Conference in 1965, and took up its current name in 1987.The ICC
has its headquarters in Dubai, UAE.

The earliest reference to cricket is in South East England in the mid-16 th century. It spread globally with
the expansion of the British Empire, with the first International matches in the second half of the 19 th
century. The game’s governing body is the International Cricket Council (ICC). Which has over a 100

West Indies Cricket Board (WICB)

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) is the governing body for professional and
amateur cricket in the West Indies (a sporting confederation of over a dozen mainly English-
speaking Caribbean countries and dependencies that formed the British West Indies).

It was originally formed in the early 1920s as the West Indies Cricket Board of Control (and
is still sometimes referred by that name), but changed its name in 1996. In November 2015,
the Board resolved to rename itself as Cricket West Indies as part of a restructuring
exercise that would also see the creation of a separate commercial body. [1][2] The Board
has its headquarters in St. John's, Antigua and Berbuda. The WICB has been a full member
of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1926. It operates the West Indies cricket
team and West Indies A cricket team, organizing Test tours and one-day internationals with
other teams.

Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) was founded in 1943, assuming control of cricket throughout
Guyana from the Georgetown Cricket Club. This action followed the formation of the Berbice
Cricket Board in 1939. William Stanley Jones, then President of the Georgetown Cricket Club,
became the first President of the GCB. Jones, who was born in New Amsterdam and who donated the
famous Jones Cup to the GCB in 1954, was President of the British Guiana Sugar Company at that
time.Before the formation of the GCB, First Division cricket was played for the Parker Cup in
Demerara (mostly Georgetown) and the Davson Cup in Berbice. Even though Parker Cup and
Davson Cup competitions were supposedly open to players of all races, club membership often
followed race lines.
In 1917, Thomas Flood, President of the British Guiana East Indian Cricket Club (now Everest)
introduced the Flood Cup for inter-county competition amongst East Indians only. In 1919, the
Kawall Cup was introduced for competition between East Indians of British Guiana, Trinidad and
Dutch Guiana. Both Flood Cup and Kawall Cup competitions ended in 1938. The introduction of the
Jones Cup for inter-county competition openedup competition to players of all races in 1954,
indicating the end of race-based competitions.
