For the three open seats on the International Cricket Council‘s (ICC) Chief Executives’ Committee (CEC), eight Associate Members (AMs) are competing. On July 17, the first day of the ICC Annual Conference, which will be held in Singapore from July 17 to July 20, the election will be held.
In addition to incumbent Sumod Damodar of Botswana, the contenders are Anuraag Bhatnagar of Hong Kong, Tim Cutler of Vanuatu, Sarah Gomersall of Jersey, Gurdeep Klair of Canada, Palani Gurumurthy of France, Sankar Renganathan of Sierra Leone, and Stella Vaea Tagitau of Samoa.
Umair Butt of Denmark and Rashpal Bajwa of Canada, two additional incumbents, have chosen not to run in this election. Every elected official will hold office for a period of two years. Each of the forty-five Associate Members who are eligible to vote must select three candidates of their choice.
“Even if two of the incumbents are not included, the nominees running for the CEC are respectable opponents in their own right. “I sincerely hope that my qualifications and experience would merit the necessary support to achieve the desired successful outcome, as I am the only incumbent in the race and have served on CEC previously,” Damodar stated, as reported by Cricbuzz.
“I have often argued that unwavering impartiality and a complete dedication to serving without bias are necessary for representation at any level. The attempts to bring Associate Members from all over the world together are great challenges, and the diversity among them creates an interesting environment. If given the chance, I intend to keep working to represent the needs and concerns of the AMs,” Damodar said.
