ICC Chairman Greg Barclay talks about ICC Singapore:
ICC Board members Imran, Pankaj, and Neil were voted in for another term. I am pleased to continue working with the three new members to improve ICC’s strategy and grow the game so more people can enjoy it across the world, the Chairperson of the Board said.
In gratitude to their support, Khimji invited the associate nations to join an upcoming joint venture. He also guaranteed that his best interest would be in ensuring their interests.
Khimji said in the interview that after being overwhelmed with support from fellow association members, he’s determined to get their voices heard during the ICC and live up to his duties as an “associate board member”. Khimji is looking forward to getting more of his fellow Associate Nations’ interests in the minds and hearts of ICC Full members now that he has reached a significant milestone.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has elected Imran Khwaja, Pankaj Khimji and Neil Speight as Associate Member Directors. The three will join the ICC Board. The appointment of these directors marks an important step in the governance structure of cricket, with a view to reinforcing the strategic direction and objectives set out in the ICC Strategy document.
