Barkley's term will end in November The tenure
of current ICC President Gregor Barkley ends in November. If he leaves his post without seeking another 2-year term, the ICC will get a new chairman. However, after the ICC Annual Conference in Birmingham, Barkley said, 'Yes, my term ends in November. So I am eligible for 2 more years term and I am available for re-election if the member wishes.'
How is the ICC President elected?
The 16 board members of the ICC together choose their chairman. It has 12 Test playing countries. First let us know which are those countries?
India
Pakistan
South Africa
Bangladesh
England
Australia
West Indies
Sri Lanka
Zimbabwe
New Zealand
Afghanistan
Ireland
These 12 countries have one vote each, with three allies Malaysia, Scotland and Singapore having three votes.
1 vote goes to the independent director of ICC, who is currently PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi.
Out of this, the candidate who gets 9 or 51 percent of the vote is the new President of the ICC.
Earlier, a two-thirds majority was required to elect the Speaker, but this has been changed in the recent resolution. Let us tell you that BCCI has a very strong position in the ICC because BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world. In such a situation, there are more chances of Ganguly becoming the ICC President.
