It comes after a tumultuous few days with the association left without a committee when the majority of the committee members resigned from their positions at Monday's monthly meeting.
On Wednesday night NICC president Ben Middlebrook and Cricket NSW met with the presidents of the four clubs to negotiate a solution to ensure there would be cricket played in Gunnedah this season.

"The four presidents agreed that Northern Inland would take control of the competition with the help of Cricket NSW," Middlebrook said.
He said they'll have another meeting on Tuesday "to ratify everything" and discuss the finer details of the arrangement and other matters such as when the second grade competition will start.
It isn't slated to start until December 1, but there has been some concern the delay may result in players drifting away.
"The main goal is to make sure Gunnedah members have cricket played each Saturday," Middlebrook said.
Acting effectively as an administrator, the regional body will also help draft a new constitution with the existing one more than 25-years-old.
"We'll get everything aligned with Cricket NSW's policies so it's an easy transition for the next committee," he said.
