The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday appointed former Pakistan Cricket Board chief executive Wasim Khan as general manager of cricket, replacing Geoff Allardice. Khan, who will take over his post next month, was also previously chief executive of Leicestershire County Cricket Club and Chance to Shine. He last held the post of PCB CEO.
Khan will take over from Allardice who spent eight years in the role before being appointed as the ICC CEO.
Welcoming Khan to his new post, his predecessor Allardice said: “I am delighted to welcome Wasim to the ICC. He brings in-depth knowledge of our sport and its stakeholders and his firsthand experience of the international cricket landscape will be of enormous benefit as we implement the ICC global growth strategy and move forward into a new events cycle.”
“I am honoured to be joining the ICC. I can’t wait to get started and work in partnership with our members to strengthen and grow our sport. I’m particularly excited by the ICC’s commitment to the growth of the women’s game, and I look forward to playing my part in really accelerating that growth over the next decade,” Khan said in an ICC statement.
