ICC elections: October 20 last date for filing nominations for chairman
The HinduThe last date for filing the nominations for the International Cricket Council chair will be October 20. After the ICC’s annual meeting in Birmingham in July, it was decided that with Greg Barclay ending his tenure this year, the election will be decided by a simple majority and the term of the Chair will be for a two-year period between December 1, 2022 to November 30, 2024. In a 16-member board, the candidate needs just nine votes from the directors to get elected While there is no clarity on whether Barclay will seek another two-year term, there is also a buzz that the BCCI could nominate Sourav Ganguly for the position of the ICC chairman. With questions hovering around Ganguly’s future as BCCI president, there is a buzz in the Board that Roger Binny - a member of the 1983 World Cup winning team and current president of Karnataka State Cricket Association - could get an important role. The current BCCI secretary Jay Shah will represent Gujarat Cricket Association, while Arun Dhumal - the treasurer - has been nominated by the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association.
