Leicestershire County Cricket Club: Wasim Khan will step down as the International Cricket Council’s General Manager (Cricket) at the end of June. This marks the end of his four-year term in a key leadership position, said a report.
According to ESPNCricinfo, Wasim took over the role in May 2022 from Geoff Allardice, who became ICC CEO. From July, he will move into a new position. His departure is another notable exit from the ICC, following several senior-level shifts over the past two years.
Before joining ICC, Wasim was CEO of the Pakistan Cricket Board for nearly three years. This experience bolstered his reputation as a knowledgeable cricket administrator. He began his journey in the sport on the field, becoming the first British-born Muslim to play county cricket. He represented Warwickshire, Sussex, and Derbyshire in the 1990s. As a left-handed batter, he played 58 first-class and 30 List A matches. He was part of Warwickshire’s County Championship-winning team in 1995 and had an impressive season, averaging close to 50.
