The TCCB was established in 1968 to replace the functions of the Board of Control for Test Matches and the Advisory County Cricket Committee (1904) which had been set up by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to administer Test cricket in England and the County Championship respectively. In order to be eligible for government funding through the Sports Council,cricket needed an independent governing body and the representatives from the TCCB,together with representatives from MCC and the National Cricket Association (NCA),formed a new Cricket Council,initially known as the MCC Council.
