AUSTRALIAN CRICKET
Cricket Australia, formerly known as the Australian Cricket Board, is the governing body for professional and amateur cricket in Australia. It was originally formed in 1905 as the Australian Board of Control for International Cricket Matches. It is incorporated as an Australian Public Company, limited by guarantee.
Cricket Australia operates all of the Australian national representative cricket sides, including the Australian cricket team, the Australia national women's cricket team and youth sides as well. CA is also responsible for organising and hosting Test tours and One Day Internationals with other nations, and scheduling the home international fixtures.
Cricket Australia is in charge of regional development of cricket in the Pacific region, under the International Cricket Council's development program
Overview
Cricket Australia is an administrative organisation responsible for the promotion, development and organisation of cricket in Australia. Cricket Australia has six member organisations that represent each of the Australian states. These organisations are:
- Cricket New South Wales
- Queensland Cricket
- South Australian Cricket Association
- Tasmanian Cricket Association
- Cricket Victoria
- Western Australian Cricket Association
The Australian Capital Territory Cricket Association and the Northern Territory Cricket Association are non-member associations, although they participate in lower level Cricket Australia tournaments such as the Cricket Australia Cup.
Each of the member organisations elects representatives to the 14 man Cricket Australia Board of Directors, and to the Senior Management Team, which consists of about 60 members of staff. For historical reasons, the states are not represented equally on the board. The membership of the 14 man board is New South Wales (three Directors), Queensland (two Directors), South Australia (three Directors), Tasmania (one Director), Victoria (three Directors), and Western Australia (two Directors). The board develops Cricket Australia's strategic plan, but the plan is implemented by the Senior Management Team and the Chief Executive officer.
Each of the state cricket associations that are members of Cricket Australia also selects a representative side to participate in Australia's major domestic cricket tournaments.

Cricket Australia's organisational 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.
Cricket Australia also maintains a healthy but independent association with the Australian Cricketers' Association in order to provide proper player's rights and welfare requirements.
