The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the international governing body of cricket.

From its formation, the ICC had Lord’s Cricket Ground as its home, and from 1993 had its offices in the “Clock Tower” building at the nursery end of the ground.

The option of staying at Lord’s was investigated by the ICC in the 2000s and a request was made, through Sport England, to the British Government to allow the ICC to have all its personnel (including those working on commercial matters) in London - but be given special exemption from paying UK corporation tax on its commercial income.

The British Government was unwilling to create a precedent and would not agree to this request. As a consequence, the ICC examined other locations and eventually settled on the emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. In August 2005 the ICC moved its offices to Dubai and subsequently closed its offices at Lord’s and Monaco.

The move to Dubai was made after an 11-1 vote by the ICC’s Executive Board in favour.
