Edinburgh – South African Dave Richardson’s contract as ICC chief executive was extended until 2019 at the ICC annual conference on Saturday in Edinburgh.
The ICC board consists of the nominated representatives of each of the 10 full members plus three elected associate member representatives. The meeting is chaired by the ICC chairman and also present is the ICC chief executive.
The ICC chief executives’ committee comprises the chief executives of the 10 full members as well as three associate member representatives. Also present is the ICC chief executive who chairs the meeting, and, by invitation, the ICC chairman, the chairman of the ICC cricket committee and the chair of the ICC women’s committee.
The conference concluded on Saturday in Edinburgh under the chairmanship of Shashank Manohar.
Manohar described the 2016 annual conference as a huge success and thanked Cricket Scotland for hosting the summit.
“It has been a memorable gathering with many highlights throughout the week as well as being a highly productive period for all of the administrators in many ways. With the overarching aim to make cricket the world’s favourite sport, we have addressed and tackled a number of important matters, strengthened old relationships and made new friendships.
“Some of the most significant projects remain work in progress but they are complex and require considerable attention and thought. Even in these areas, we have made big strides and I remain confident and optimistic that we will conclude that work as quickly as possible.
“On behalf of the entire cricket family, I want to thank Cricket Scotland for hosting this year’s annual conference in Edinburgh and for being an outstanding host. I wish Cricket Scotland all the very best both on and off the field,” said Manohar.
The chairman of the Anti-Corruption Unit, Sir Ronnie Flanagan, provided an annual update, including the progress made on the implementation of the Integrity Working Party recommendations, which were approved during last year’s ICC annual conference in Barbados.
