global pandemic in a strong position and poised for growth."
"I look forward to working in partnership with our Members to strengthen the game in our
core markets as well as grow it beyond that ensuring more of the world can enjoy cricket.
I take my position as a custodian of the game very seriously and am committed to working
on behalf of all 104 ICC Members to create a sustainable future for our sport," he said.
"I’d like to thank Imran Khwaja for his leadership as acting ICC Chair during a difficult
period for the game and I look forward to continuing a close working relationship with him
