These 108 members are divided into two categories:

Each of these countries has its own national cricket board (e.g., Board of Control for Cricket in India, Cricket Australia, England and Wales Cricket Board).

Each of these nations also has its own national cricket board or governing body that oversees the development and administration of cricket within their respective territories.
