From the 1880s onwards there had been no central body to co-ordinate the [[Inter-Colonial Tournament]]s and matches, select composite West Indian XIs for tours and against touring sides and to organise the West Indian tours of England, Canada and the United States. Such organisation as there was, was done by an informal coalition of the major clubs in the region.<ref name = "Patterson Report" >Patterson Report [http://www.windiescricket.com/sites/default/files/documents/Committee-on-Governance-of-West-Indies-Cricket-Final-Report.pdf] p. 32</ref> West Indian cricketers however had felt the need for the establishment of such an organisation although geography and culture were to make such a task difficult. However, with the help of one influential [[Marylebone Cricket Club]] member, [[R. H. Mallet]] (the manager of the 1906 and 1923 West Indian tours and future manager of the 1930–31 West Indian tour to Australia), representatives of the various territories finally got together and ultimately formed the West Indies Cricket Board of Control. The preliminary meeting was in [[Bridgetown]], Barbados, from which the informal ''West Indies Cricket Conference'' was founded in 1926. The West Indies Cricket Conference held its first official meeting on 22 January 1927 at the Bridgetown Club in Barbados attended by Mallett and representatives from the Windward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados and Demerara (British Guiana). Delegates from Jamaica and the Leeward Islands were invited by unfortunately were unable to attend. At this January meeting the delegates present decided to form the West Indies Cricket Board of Control (WICBC) which would be composed of a president, a secretary and two delegates each from Barbados, Demerara, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago and one delegate each from the Leeward Islands and Windward Islands. The WICBC's first meeting was held on 17 and 18 June 1927 in [[Port-of-Spain]], Trinidad with Harold Austin (the former captain of the 1906 and 1923 West Indian tours of England) serving as the first president.<ref>Keith A.P. Sandiford ''in'' Beckles ''et al.'', ''op. cit.'', p.30</ref> The Board as constituted was enlarged in 1982 when the Leeward and Windward Islands were given the same representation as the other full Members. The President was appointed by the Board at an Ordinary General Meeting and had to be a person resident in the West Indies who had shown a keen and active interest in West Indies cricket. His term of office was for two years (and eligible for re-election) or until his successor was appointed. Board members were also thenceforce to be appointed by their Cricket Associations although in British Guiana the Georgetown Cricket Club held this responsibility until 1943, and in Trinidad the Queens Park Oval Club until 1981 when their respective Cricket Associations were given recognition. There was a provision for Associate Members who would be entitled to attend Meetings but not to move resolutions or vote. [[Bermuda national cricket team|Bermuda]] and [[Belize national cricket team|Belize]] had been the only members in this category prior to their cessation as Associate Members.<ref name = "Patterson Report" /> According to Ram Hiralal,<ref name="Wisden: Suriname 2002">{{cite book|last=Connelly|first= Charlie|title=Wisden - Elk Stopped Play: And Other Tales from Wisden's 'Cricket Round the World'|year= 2014|publisher=A&C Black|location=|isbn=140-88-3237-2|pages=130–131|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BbVGAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT151&dq=suriname+cricket+wisden&hl=en&sa=X&ei=fsI-VYttx67IBJrSgKAO&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=suriname%20cricket%20wisden&f=false}}</ref> former President of the [[Surinaamse Cricket Bond|Suriname Cricket Association]],<ref name="Special award for Ram Hiralal">[http://www.starnieuws.com/index.php/welcome/index/nieuwsitem/28123 Special award for Ram Hiralal]</ref><ref name="Off the beaten track: Suriname">[http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/96233.html Off The Beaten Track: Burkina Faso, Cote D'Ivore, Lithuania, Suriname, Wallis & Futuna]</ref> up until 2002 when [[Suriname national cricket team|Suriname]] applied for and gained affiliate membership of the ICC, it was also an associate member of the West Indies Cricket Board.<ref name="Wisden: Suriname 2002"/>
