The MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club)
The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), founded in 1787, is one of cricket's oldest and most prestigious organizations. It acts as the custodian of the sport’s laws and traditions, drafting and maintaining the rules of cricket. Based at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, MCC also governs the sport internationally and promotes its growth worldwide. While it no longer controls match play, it remains influential in shaping cricket standards, ethics, and development. MCC's role blends historical significance with modern stewardship, ensuring cricket’s integrity and legacy continue for future generations.
