List of International Cricket Council members

It was founded as the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1909 by representatives from Australia, England, and South Africa.

[3] In 1961, South Africa resigned from the Conference due to them leaving the Commonwealth,[4] but they continued to play Test cricket until their international exile in 1970.

[5] The Imperial Cricket Conference was renamed as the International Cricket Conference in 1965, with new rules permitting countries from outside the Commonwealth to be elected into the ICC for the first time: Fiji and the USA became the first associate member nations that year.

[6] From July to October 2019, the ICC suspended Zimbabwe due to government interference, the first time this had occurred with a full member side.

[7][8] From November 2023 to January 2024, the ICC suspended Sri Lanka due to government interference in the board.

[14][15] Full Members are the governing bodies for cricket of a country recognised by the ICC, which have a right to send a representative team to play official Test matches, have full voting rights at meetings of the ICC, and are automatically qualified to play One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals.

[19] In 2023, Australia withdrew from a one-day series against Afghanistan to protest the Taliban's oppression of women in the country.

[37] Associates are also eligible to play in the T20 World Cup Regional Qualifiers (men's and women's) which forms part of the T20 World Cup qualification (men's and women's); until April 2018, only the teams qualified for final stage were awarded Twenty20 International status.

[139] Netherlands ensured they would regain ODI status after the completion of the 2018 CWC Qualifier, by winning the 2015–2017 WCL Championship.

The next three highest placed associates in the qualifier (United Arab Emirates, Scotland and Nepal) also gained ODI status.

[140] Four additional teams (Namibia, Oman, Papua New Guinea and United States) gained ODI status after the conclusion of the 2019 WCL Division Two tournament in April 2019.

[138] On 25 May 2022, five Associate teams (Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, Scotland, Thailand and United States) were granted women's ODI status by the ICC.
