Namibia was awarded the hosting of the ODI World Cup for the first time; ICC gave associate teams membership to 2 new countries

The ICC awarded the England and Wales Cricket Board hosting rights for the WTC Final of the 2027, 2029, and 2031 editions following its successful experience in the staging of the World Test Championship Final. Besides this, Namibia was awarded the hosting of the ODI World Cup for the first time, which will be co-hosted with South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The International Cricket Council has initiated a significant programme to help Afghan-origin displaced women cricketers, for which these players are being offered cricketing and personal development assistance. The programme is being executed under the umbrella of ICC Vice President Imran Khwaja, along with the Board of Control for Cricket in India, England & Wales Cricket Board, and Cricket Australia.

The programme aims to provide high-performance, domestic playing opportunities and support through participation in major ICC global events, including the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 in India and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 in England. The ICC reiterated its previous position regarding USA Cricket and confirmed that USA Cricket must undertake comprehensive administrative reforms, including the completion of free and fair elections within a period of three months.
