The International Cricket Council (ICC) will hold its Annual Conference in Bridgetown, Barbados, from June 22 to 26.
This will be the first time ICC's annual meetings will take place in the West Indies. With delegates from over 50 ICC members, it will be the largest ever gathering of cricket administrators in the Americas region.
"We are delighted to be taking the ICC Annual Conference to the West Indies for the first time and I am sure both the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and the island of Barbados will prove to be excellent hosts for these important meetings," ICC Chairman Narayanaswami Srinivasan said on Monday.
The Conference will be hosted by WICB with the support of the Barbados Cricket Association and Barbados Tourism Marketing Incorporated (BTMI).
"The award of this high profile event to our region demonstrates the significant role West Indies cricket continues to play in the global game. We look forward to welcoming our friends from around the cricket world and highlighting our passion for cricket's past, present and future," WICB President Dave Cameron said.
