The International Cricket Council (ICC) Saturday re-elected Auckland-based commercial lawyer Greg Barclay as its chair for a second two-year term.
Barclay was elected for two more years, until 2024, after Tavengwa Mukuhlani, a long-term director on the ICC board and Zimbabwe Cricket chair, pulled out of contention.
The former New Zealand Cricket chair succeeded India's Shashank Manohar in 2020, reports UNB.
Barclay said: "It is an honour to be re-elected as the chair of the International Cricket Council and I would like to thank my fellow ICC directors for their support."
"Over the last two years, we have made significant strides forward with the launch of our global growth strategy that provides clear direction to build a successful and sustainable future for our sport."
"It is an exciting time to be involved in cricket and I look forward to continuing to work closely 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," Barclay added.
Mukuhlani said: "I would like to congratulate Greg on his re-appointment as ICC chair, as the continuity of his leadership will provide is in the best interests of the sport. I, therefore, decided to withdraw my candidacy."
