New Delhi, Nov 12: Greg Barclay was unanimously elected to a second two-year term as the Independent Chair of the International Cricket Council (ICC) board on Saturday. After Tavengwa Mukuhlani withdrew from the election, Barclay was not opposed, and the board reaffirmed its full support for him to serve as chair for a further two years. Barclay, a commercial lawyer from Auckland, was first chosen to serve as the ICC Chair in November 2020.
He served as a director for the 2015 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and previously served as the chair of New Zealand Cricket (NZC).
Greg Barclay in an official release said: “It is an honour to be re-elected as the Chair of the International Cricket Council and I would like to thank my fellow ICC Directors for their support.”
“Over the last two years we have made significant strides forward with the launch of our global growth strategy that provides clear direction to build a successful and sustainable future for our sport.
“It is an exciting time to be involved in cricket and I look forward to continuing to work closely with our Members to strengthen the game in our core markets as well as grow it beyond that, ensuring more of the world can enjoy cricket,” he added.
