The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board today confirmed the process for the election of its next Chairperson is underway and is expected to be concluded by early December.

The process, which is being overseen by the Independent Chairman of the ICC Audit Committee, has commenced and the first stage is for the nominations of potential candidates to be made by current Board Directors by 18 October 2020. Any nominee will then need to be seconded by another Board Director to become a candidate in the election. 

As outlined in the ICC Constitution, to be eligible, potential candidates must be either a current or former ICC Director.
