World Cricketers' Association (WCA), formerly known as the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA), is the global representative body for professional cricketers in cricket. It represents players from most of the leading cricket-playing nations through their domestic players’ associations, with more than 600 international players involved in its global commercial programmes.

The WCA operates as a democratic, player-led organisation that unites the world’s professional cricketers under a single international entity, focusing on matters that affect players collectively and the global game.

Originally established as FICA in 1998, the organisation adopted the name World Cricketers’ Association (WCA) in 2024.[1]

In March 2025, the WCA released a report advocating reform of the international cricket calendar and the modernisation of the International Cricket Council.[2][3]
