Currently the International Cricket Council article lists Asian Cricket Council and Africa Cricket Association as the regional bodies for administration. This is seen across multiple pages including the ICC-administered events such as 2028 Men's T20 World Cup qualification.

But ACC and ACA are independent bodies that are completely autonomous of ICC regional bodies. ICC Asia and ICC Africa are still in-charge of conducting global pathway events, even in the list of members of ICC, teams like Japan and Indonesia are classified as belonging to Asia/EAP, while they solely are members of ICC from EAP region but separately hold the membership of ACC too. This distinction among regional organizations should be implemented, what do others think?

@Cric editor: While the refs confirm their membership to the ICC, there's no source confirming if whether something called "ICC Asia" and "ICC Africa" even exists..? I've searched about this once too and wrote up List of International Cricket Council members#Regional bodies with what I was able to gather on the internet.. Vestrian24Bio 06:39, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

The fact that multiple teams hold membership across regions points towards this. Besides, in 2016 Aminul Islam was appointed as ICC Asian regional development officer (1, 2). Note that this stint of his is completely different from his term as development officer for China, Thailand and other teams from ACC (3). Multiple national boards have had posts regarding the high performance camps held by ICC Asia too. Cric editor (talk) 07:14, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Even regarding membership of ACC, some of the associate members of ICC (UAE, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore and Thailand) are considered as full members under ACC (About ACC). Cric editor (talk) 07:17, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

ICC Asia/Africa was a project by the ICC about 10/15 years ago. There was always the idea to transform the continental cricket councils (like the ECC) into ICC affiliates (a bit like football for regional qualifiers they effectively first used for the World Cricket League). So the ICC founded them and in Europe and Pacific/East Asia they replaced the Cricket Councils. In Asia they did not like it and kept their independence (Africa I assume as well) and so the affiliations are effectively today more an internal tool for development and charity. The ACC and ACA are technically independent and especially the ACC is due to the Asia Cup also financially on top. So yes they exist, and are different from the two councils. And the qualifiers have nothing to do with either the ACC or ICC Asia, they are as war as I know directly organised by the ICC. At least the European ones are clear in their marketing that the qualifying events are ICC direct (and not ICC Europe). Cricket is no Football and ICC not FIFA. So they should be thrown out of the info box there (unless we find concrete sources showing their organisation of the events).--Maphry (talk) 21:14, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

I'm fine with removing them from the infoboxes. The point I was going for is that if we were to make separate dedicated articles for ICC Asia and ICC Africa, that wouldn't exactly stand... Vestrian24Bio 14:07, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

This split proposal was raised in February 2023, and had a clear support consensus, but it hasn't been done. Unless there is a strong objection today, I'll complete it. Jack (talk) 01:13, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Done. We now have two separate tour articles, plus a disambig page. It's exactly what Lugnuts did with New Zealand cricket team in Pakistan in 2022–23, so we should follow that precedent if a similar case should arise in future. Thanks, Jack (talk) 15:21, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Actually, these qualify as set index articles (SIA). You can see a full list of them at Category:Set index articles on sports. Thanks, Jack (talk) 13:59, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
