Australia Cricket Board (ACB)

Cricket Australia (CA), formerly known as the Australian Cricket Board (ACB), is the governing body for professional and amateur cricket in Australia.
What is now known as Cricket Australia was established in 1905 as the "Australian Board of Control for International Cricket". Before its establishment, tours by
Australian teams to England were organised and funded by private groups or by the players themselves. Similarly invitations to English teams were made by private promoters or by individual clubs, such as the Melbourne Cricket Club. The predecessor organisation, the Australasian Cricket Council which had existed from 1892 to 1898 but was ineffective due to a lack of funding. Its one lasting action was to establish the Sheffield Shield, the major cricket competition between the Australian colonies.A draft constitution was discussed by members of the New South Wales, Victoria, South Australian and Queensland associations.The first meeting of the new board was held at Wesley College in Melbourne on 6 May 1905.
Cricket Australia's organizational structure is designed to efficiently operate the game, and is divided into separate components focused on specific responsibilities such as: Cricket Marketing Services, Cricket Operations, Finance and Business Services, Game Development, Legal and Business Affairs, and Public Affairs.
