FORMER PAKISTAN CRICKET Board CEO Wasim Khan will reportedly step down as the International Cricket Council’s general manager in June, having served in the role for four years.
Khan took over from Geoff Allardice in May 2022, after the Australian assumed the CEO’s role at the ICC. Khan had arrived at the ICC after nearly three years as the PCB’s CEO.
According to ESPNcricinfo, the former PCB CEO is expected to relinquish the role at the end of June and take up another from July.
Khan’s exit follows the departure of many senior ICC officials over the last two years, including Allardice – replaced by Sanjog Gupta as CEO – Chris Tetley (head of events) and Alex Marshall, who led the anti-corruption unit. Tetley has been replaced by Gaurav Saxena, and Marshall by Andrew Ephgrave.
Khan, who was born in England, played First-Class cricket between 1995 and 2001 and played List A matches from 1998 to 2002. He was also the first British-born Muslim to play county cricket. He played for Warwickshire in the mid-to-late 90s.
