This will be the first time the ICC's annual meetings have taken place in the West Indies and with delegates from over 50 ICC Members expected to attend it will be the largest ever gathering of cricket administrators in the Americas region, Cricket Country reported.
ICC Chairman Narayanaswami Srinivasan said that they are delighted to be taking the ICC Annual Conference to the West Indies for the first time and he was sure both the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and the island of Barbados would prove to be excellent hosts for these important meetings.
The Conference will be hosted by the WICB with the support of the Barbados Cricket Association and Barbados Tourism Marketing Incorporated (BTMI).
WICB President Dave Cameron explained that the award of this high profile event to their region demonstrates the significant role West Indies cricket continues to play in the global game. They look forward to welcoming their friends from around the cricket world and highlighting their passion for cricket's past, present and future.
Barbados will join a prestigious list of hosts of the Conference which in recent years has included Melbourne (Australia), London (England), Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Singapore and Dubai.
