The Island
|April 19, 2025
The annual conference of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to take place in Singapore, tentatively scheduled for the third week of July. Several key decisions are expected during the meet, including on the recent recommendations from the Cricket Committee regarding changes to the Playing Conditions.

The decision to host the annual ICC conference in Singapore was finalised during recent meetings held in Zimbabwe first in Harare and later in Victoria Falls. Singapore is the constituency of ICC Deputy Chair Imran Khwaja, and this will be the first annual conference to be chaired by Jay Shah in his capacity as ICC Chairman.
It is understood that the ICC is considering forming a Working Group to examine the recent recommendations put forward by the Cricket Committee, chaired by Sourav Ganguly, a former BCCI president and a former India captain. Among the proposals is a suggestion to use a single ball from the 25th over onwards in One-Day Internationals, with the intention of bringing reverse swing back into play.
