Who decides cricket's rules?

The International Cricket Council (ICC) governs global cricket, setting the playing conditions and rules for international matches, including ODIs. They regularly review and update regulations to balance competition, player safety, and spectator appeal, influencing everything from boundary sizes to fielding restrictions, which in turn affect scoring.
