Imran Khwaja, Mubashshir Usmani, and Mahinda Vallipuram have been appointed as ICC Associate Member Directors. This decision was made during the ICC Annual Conference held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The election process concluded with these three individuals securing their positions, marking a significant development in the governance of international cricket. Their new roles are expected to contribute to the strategic direction and management of the sport within the Associate Member framework.
New Selected Members of ICC Associate Member Directors:
The election for the Associate Member Director roles took place during the ICC’s five-day Annual Conference. This critical segment of the conference involved selecting new representatives, marking a significant aspect of the event and shaping the future of the ICC Board with the newly elected members.
Following the Associate Members’ Meeting Terms of Reference, the election was held during the Formal Associate Members meeting using a weighted secret ballot. Each voter, including Voting Associate Members and Regional Representatives, was allotted three votes, ensuring a structured and confidential voting process. This method was employed to fairly determine the new ICC Associate Member Directors.
Mubashir Usmani, General Secretary of the Emirates Cricket Board, made a strong comeback, securing the highest number of votes in the Associate Member Board elections. Usmani received 23 votes, leading the race for three positions. Imran Khawaja from Singapore followed with 20 votes, while Mahinda Vallipuram secured 13 votes. Out of 11 candidates vying for these roles, the elected members will serve a two-year term on the ICC Board.
Imran Khwaja has been re-elected as the Associate Member representative on the ICC Board. Joining him are Mubashshir Usmani and Mahinda Vallipuram, who take over the positions previously held by Pankaj Khimji and Neil Speight. This new lineup reflects a shift in representation on the Board, as the newly elected members bring fresh perspectives and leadership to the role.
ICC Chairman Greg Barclay said, ” I would like to welcome the elected Associate Member Directors onto the Board for the next term. I look forward to working with Imran, Mubashshir and Mahinda to continue to push the sport forward by delivering the strategy and growing the game so that more people can enjoy cricket across the world.”
