The first central administrative body for cricket in Australia was established in March 1892, when delegates from the state associations of New South Wales , South Australia and Victoria established the Australasian Cricket Council.
The Council disbanded only seven years later, before the Australian Board of Control for International Cricket was formed in 1905. Its first meeting was attended by two representatives from each of New South Wales and Victoria . A delegate from Queensland attended its second meeting later the same year; and its constitution was then amended in 1906 to formally allow for one representative from Queensland and three from each of New South Wales , South Australia and Victoria .
Tasmania was permitted one representative from 1907, while Western Australian representation became a reality from 1913. The only other changes to the number of delegates provided by the states were made in 1914 and 1974 respectively, when Queensland and Western Australian representation increased to two each.
The organisation again changed its title in 1973 – this time to the Australian Cricket Board – and again on 1 July 2003 when it became Cricket Australia .

Chairmen/Chief Executives:
In replacing Creagh O'Connor in the role, Jack Clarke became the 36th person to oversee the Board's activities as its Chairman when he was appointed in October 2008.
Among the wide range of developments to which these men have been forced to respond in their roles as the Board's figureheads, some of the more notable have been: the 1912 dispute between officials and a group of the country's senior players; the outrage prompted by the ‘Bodyline' series of 1932-33; the onset of World Series Cricket in the late 1970s; the staging of rebel tours to South Africa during the 1980s; and the threat of strike action launched by the nation's players in 1997.
The longest serving Chairmen were Allen Robertson (1930-33, 1936-45, 1948-51) and Aubrey Oxlade (1927-30, 1933-36, 1945-48, 1952-52), while arguably the best-known was Sir Donald Bradman (1960-63, 1969-72).
Upon his appointment to the position in 2001 as the successor to Malcolm Speed, James Sutherland became the organisation's 12th Secretary/Chief Executive Officer.
