It is widely understood the race to host the ICC is a straight fight between its existing home at Lords in London and an offer from Dubai.
The meeting, taking place in Lahore, will also focus on two key areas; the review of the structure of cricket and the inquiry into claims of racism in Zimbabwean cricket.
It will provide the first opportunity for the ICC board to consider the future structure of the programme of Test match and one-day international cricket following discussions by the chief executives of all countries at their meeting in September.
Said an ICC spokesman: “The board will consider a range of alternatives identified by the chief executives’ committee and provide direction to ICC management as to which, if any, it wishes to examine further.”
