Geoff Allardice has been appointed as the CEO of the International Cricket Council (ICC), reports cricbuzz.com.
The former first-class cricketer has been handed the job permanently after being in the role on an interim basis for more than eight months. Allardice succeeds Manu Sawhney, whose services were terminated by the world governing body.
"I am delighted that Geoff has agreed to take the role of ICC CEO on a permanent basis. He has shown tremendous leadership during an extremely challenging period culminating in the successful delivery of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021," ICC chairman Greg Barclay said.
Allardice comes with rich administrative experience on his CV, having been a General Manager at the ICC for eight years, and also holding a similar position with Cricket Australia before.
