After Zimbabwe’s Tavengwa Mukuhlani withdrew from the race, Greg Barclay was re-elected without opposition as the International Cricket Council’s independent chairman on Saturday.
According to the governing body of the sport, the former New Zealand Cricket manager succeeded Shashank Manohar in 2020 and kept the position for an additional two years with the support of the board.
“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,” said Barclay.
“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.”
Mukuhlani said the continuity of Barclay, an Auckland-based commercial lawyer, was “in the best interests of the sport”.
“I therefore decided to withdraw my candidacy,” he added.
