"The ACC's development work has been fundamental to the growth and improvement of many Associate and Affiliate Members in Asia, particularly countries like Afghanistan, UAE and Nepal. We therefore look forward to building on this success in order for cricket to become even stronger across the region," ICC's Chief Executive David Richardson said in a press statement issued by ICC.With this decision, several of the ACC development staff will now take up roles with the ICC.
ICC has also confirmed that the Asia Cup will continue to be hosted by the ACC, with the next edition planned to take place in 2016, and subsequent editions in 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Meanwhile, qualification processes for associate and affiliate members to play in the Asia Cup are also currently being considered, according to ICC.
