International Cricket Council

The Icc is the umbrella organization of all national cricket organizations worldwide. It is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and administers all aspects of cricket sport globally. 105 countries are affiliated with the Icc after several national federations were added at the 2008 Icc Congress.

In light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Icc suspended athletes from Russia and Belarus from competing at any International Cricket events, and suspended all officials from these countries from officiating at any event sanctioned by the Icc, as well as from attending or participating in any Icc meetings, committees, and forums. In March 2023, the Russian Cricket Federation sent a letter addressing the Icc and urging them to reverse the decision and allow Russian athletes to compete in Icc events. The RCF's statement included claims that the war was actually started by Ukraine and that 'Russia defends peace'. In May 2023, the Icc reinstated Russian and Belarusian athletes, shortly after a Russian missile attack forced the cancellation of a cricket event in Ukraine.
