Kuala Lumpur: Former chairman of New Zealand Cricket Alan Isaac has been elected as new president of International Cricket Council (ICC).
Isaa, replacing India’s Sharad Pawar , was elected for a two years term during the annual conference on Thursday.
South Africa’s former test wicketkeeper David Richardson was also confirmed as the new ICC chief executive replacing his countryman Haroon Lorgat.
Isaac’s term will end in 2014 after which it was agreed that a new post of chairman will be created and the president’s role will only be ceremonial.
Russia and Hungary were awarded affiliate membership of ICC but Switzerland was removed as an affiliate member having been suspended at the 2011 annual conference for failing to comply with the ICC’s membership criteria and having still not done so.
