The ICC's centenary is due in 2009 and the ICC Board discussed ways to mark the occasions. It approved four main objectives:

Celebration – A chance to remind the world how great cricket is;

Tradition - An opportunity to look back at the game’s rich history, to honour past greats and recognise milestones;

Reputation - A focal point for cricket’s special spirit and an opportunity to present cricket as a leader in terms of diversity and social responsibility; and

Fraternity - A time to reaffirm the brotherhood and togetherness of world cricket through a collective commitment from ICC and its Members.

It also considered ways to achieve these objectives which will be explored in greater detail in due course.
