ICC Strategy Meeting – Bali, 13‑15 November

• Purpose: Quarterly ICC meeting to review the McKinsey & Company strategic report on the future of cricket worldwide.
• Key agenda: Adoption of recommendations aimed at diversifying revenue and expanding the global footprint of the game.

Major Recommendations from the McKinsey Report

Strategic Goals

• Women’s cricket: Position it as the world’s leading women’s sport.
• Economic target: Triple the global cricket economy from the current $3.5‑$3.8 bn to $10 bn annually within the next decade.
• Geographic expansion: Tap markets in China, Indonesia, Brazil, the United States, and other high‑population regions while maintaining India as the primary revenue driver.

Competition Structure Outlook

• Encourage more multilateral tournaments and an increase in Twenty‑20 Internationals.
• Potential reduction in the number of bilateral ODIs, leaving final decisions to individual cricket boards.

The Bali meeting will determine how many of these recommendations the ICC will implement.
