Details on the Safety and Security of ICC Events

The International Cricket Council (ICC) emphasizes the importance of safety planning to ensure the well-being of participants and spectators at its events.

In March 2021, the ICC published the ‘International Cricket Council Tournament Safety Planning Framework,’ outlining minimum safety standards for host nations. This framework aims to establish consistent safety plans that are resilient, proportionate, and communicated effectively to all involved parties. It moves beyond physical security to consider a broader safety strategy, responsive to both national and international safety contexts.

Based on international best practices and recent tournament experiences, the framework emphasizes the importance of regular review and adaptation. Additionally, the ICC has issued guidance for managing bio-safe cricket during the COVID-19 pandemic, recognizing the diverse impact of the pandemic across nations and societies.

This guidance builds upon previous guidelines and seeks to provide a common understanding of the current situation, acknowledging the evolving nature of COVID-19 and the varying regulatory environments. The ICC emphasizes a collaborative approach to safety planning, including exercising, testing, and debriefing processes.
