ICC conference to return to Lords

Lord’s Cricket Ground will host the International Cricket Council (ICC) annual conference in 2009.

ICC President, David Morgan, said: I’m delighted to announce that the ICC Board has confirmed unanimously that we will return to Lord’s for annual conference week in 2009.

“It is perfect timing as it will allow Lord’s, the ICC’s home for the first 96 years of its existence, to play a central role in our organisation’s centenary celebrations, as 2009 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the ICC”.

The ICC recent meetings in Dubai were the first time the council had moved its annual gathering away from its former London headquarters.
