Triggers Cricket Club Competitors

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is the national governing body for cricket in England and Wales. We run successful England teams, oversee domestic and recreational cricket, and run participation programmes that get children active and playing cricket. Through cricket we want to improve lives and connect communities.

The ICC is the global governing body for cricket. Representing 106 members, the ICC governs and administrates the game and is responsible for the staging of major international tournaments including the ICC Men’s World Cup and Women’s World Cup and the ICC Men’s and Women’s T20 World Cups as well as all associated qualifying events. The ICC presides over the ICC Code of Conduct which sets the professional standards of discipline for international cricket, playing conditions, bowling reviews and other ICC regulations and appoints match officials. Through the Anti-Corruption Unit it coordinates action against corruption and match fixing. The ICC Development department works with Associate Members to improve the quality of international cricket, build better cricket systems, get more people playing cricket and grow the game globally.
