It has always seemed to me that the Council offers all of us a rare opportunity to work together for the betterment of not only all member countries as a whole but to bring together individual member countries at times when other avenues are not open. Looking at the Council’s history one can recall many instances when India and Pakistan for example, or Sri Lanka and Bangladesh at others, found themselves with access to each other’s administrators at Council meetings when bilateral summits were not possible. These meetings were invariably fruitful and many subsequent tours and events were arranged. ACC Annual Report & Accounts 2016 ~ 4~ President’s Report The Council has gone through various iterations over the years, from the time of its representation of a so-called ‘Asian bloc’ in the 1980s and 1990s, to its advocacy of neutral umpires in cricket, to its flourishing as a development body for all Asian ICC Associate and Affiliate members, to its current home in Sri Lanka where, even though its purview is somewhat changed its core function of enhancing the conditions of cricket in its members countries remains the same.
