Bali: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has commenced its Board and Committee meetings in Bali, Indonesia, set to run from November 11 to November 15. The meetings will address critical discussions, including the next cycles of the ICC World Test Championship and approval of windows for major men's events from 2028 to 2035.

According to International Cricket Council, the meetings bring together representatives from eight ICC Committees worldwide and will conclude with ICC and IBC Board meetings. Key agenda items include proposals for the 2027-29 and 2029-31 World Test Championship cycles and major event schedules through 2035. ICC Chairman Jay Shah emphasized the importance of these meetings in shaping cricket's future, stating that the gathering allows for exchanging perspectives and strengthening collaboration among members.

The meetings coincide with cricket's burgeoning popularity in Indonesia, where the men's team played more T20Is than any other country in 2025, and the women's teams have achieved notable milestones. New cricket facilities, such as the Bali International Oval, which will host the ICC Women's T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Qualifier in 2027, signal the sport's growing ambitions in the region.

In line with ICC's strategy to broaden its global reach, the meetings will continue consultations on cricket's events, formats, commercial sustainability, and structural frameworks. Discussions will also include feedback from the Franchise League Review Group and Governance Review Committee, aimed at enhancing ICC's regulatory framework and governance. Additionally, the Development Pathway Programme and DRS Accreditation Programme will be evaluated during the meetings.
