BCCI president and former India captain Sourav Ganguly has been appointed as the Chairman of the ICC men’s cricket committee. He will be replacing his former India teammate Anil Kumble, who has served three separate three-year terms after being appointed in 2012, the ICC announced on Wednesday.
“I am delighted to welcome Sourav to the position of Chair of the ICC Men’s Cricket Committee. His experience as one of the world’s best players and latterly as an administrator will help us shape our cricketing decisions moving forward,” ICC chair Greg Barclay said.
“I would also like to thank Anil for his outstanding leadership over the last nine years, which has included improving the international game through more regular and consistent application of DRS and a robust process for addressing suspect bowling actions.”
Barclay added that the ICC Board is committed to supporting Afghanistan Cricket to develop both men’s and women’s cricket.
