New Zealand’s Greg Barclay has been appointed as the International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman. He has taken over the place of Shashank Manohar who stepped down in June 2020.

As the place was vacant, Imran Khwaja, the deputy of ICC, was chosen for the place until a new chairman is found. As of now, Greg has won by the votes winning 11-5 in competition with Imran.

He is also the director of New Zealand Cricket and represents his country as a member of the ICC board. On occupying a new position, he will leave all of his prior posts.
