Imran Khwaja, Mubashshir Usmani, and Mahinda Vallipuram have been elected as ICC Associate Member Directors following a thorough election process at the ICC Annual Conference held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The voting adhered to the Associate Members’ Meeting Terms of Reference and was conducted through a weighted secret ballot at the Formal Associate Members meeting. Each Voting Associate Member and Regional Representative had three votes, as stated in a press release.
Imran Khwaja has been re-elected as an Associate Member representative on the Board, while Mubashshir Usmani and Mahinda Vallipuram have succeeded Pankaj Khimji and Neil Speight.
ICC Chair Greg Barclay commented, “I would like to welcome the newly elected Associate Member Directors to the Board for the upcoming term. I am eager to collaborate with Imran, Mubashshir, and Mahinda to advance our strategy and expand the sport so that more people worldwide can enjoy cricket.”
The election result necessitates an October election to fill Mubashshir Usmani’s position on the Chief Executives’ Committee, as he cannot hold both roles simultaneously.
