The International Cricket Council (ICC) is reportedly considering amending its constitution to extend the chairman’s tenure from the current two years to three years. This proposed amendment, which will be discussed in the upcoming board meeting scheduled for March 2024, also includes a change in the future eligibility criteria for the chairman.
Under the proposed change, the future eligibility for the chairman would be altered to allow for two consecutive terms instead of the current three. This means that a person can serve as chairman for a maximum of six years but can only be re-elected once. The aim of this change is to provide the chairman with a longer term to develop more effective policies and ensure better implementation.
While the ICC has not officially announced this amendment, informal discussions have already taken place among the board members. If approved, the new rule could be implemented during the annual conference in June or July.
It is unclear whether this proposed amendment is intended to benefit any specific individual. The current chairman, Greg Barclay, is set to serve until November. It remains to be seen whether the amendment, if passed, will take immediate effect or if a new chairman will only be appointed in November.
The position of ICC chairman was established in 2016, with former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Shashank Manohar being the first elected chairman. After Manohar stepped down in 2020, Barclay succeeded him and secured a new two-year term in 2022.
With Barclay’s current tenure ending in November, the cricketing world is eager to see whether the implementation of the new rule will lead to an extension of his term or the appointment of new personnel for the role.
