The International Cricket Council has commenced its final set of board and committee meetings for the year in Bali, Indonesia, bringing together global representatives to shape the future of the sport.
The four-day programme runs from 11 November until 15 November, featuring sessions across eight ICC committees before concluding with the main ICC and IBC board meetings.
Key discussions on the agenda include proposals for matchups during the 2027-29 and 2029-31 cycles of the ICC World Test Championship, alongside the approval of windows for established men's major events spanning 2028 to 2035.
ICC Chairman Jay Shah emphasised the significance of the gathering, noting that it highlights the strength of the organisation as the global governing body of the sport.
He said that bringing together a diverse group of directors and chief executives from around the world provides an essential opportunity to exchange perspectives and strengthen collaboration.
Shah added that through shared vision and collaborative efforts, the governing body remains committed to building a stronger, more inclusive and sustainable future for cricket worldwide.
The meetings coincide with a period of exponential growth for the sport within Indonesia, whose men's team played more Twenty20 Internationals than any other country during the 2025 season.
Indonesia's senior women's team also made its Women's Asia Cup debut in 2026, while the under-19 women's team successfully qualified for the Under-19 Asia Cup for the very first time.
Highlighting the regional developments, Shah remarked that bringing the meetings to Bali reflects the growing ambitions of cricket within the country.
He pointed to new facilities taking shape, including the Bali International Ground, which continues the push of Persatuan Cricket Indonesia in the international community.
The newly developing Bali International Oval is scheduled to host the ICC Women's T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Qualifier in 2027 as part of the local infrastructure investment.
In line with strategies to deepen and widen fandom, the discussions will help shape future events, formats, commercial sustainability and global structural frameworks.
The ICC Development Committee has played an important role in designing qualification frameworks aimed at adding greater context and competitiveness for emerging nations at every stage.
The Franchise League Review Group and the Governance Review Committee, both established in July 2026, will table their initial feedback regarding regulations and governance.
Furthermore, the Task Force for Afghan refugee women cricketers will share proposed next steps for the Development Pathway Programme, while the Decision Review System accreditation programme is also under consideration.
