Wasim Khan to Exit ICC: Major Shake-Up in Cricket Administration

In a significant shake-up, Wasim Khan is set to step down as the ICC's general manager of cricket after four years in the role. Taking over the reins in 2022, he’s made waves in an era where cricket has been rapidly evolving, especially with the rise of T20 and T10 formats. As Khan moves on, the ICC faces the task of appointing a successor to fill his sizeable shoes.

Khan’s tenure saw him tackle a congested cricket calendar, but under his watch, international fixtures actually saw an increase in scheduled games. He was instrumental in finalising the Future Tours Programme (2023-27) and launching the first-ever women’s FTP, marking a notable advancement in cricket’s evolution. Before his ICC stint, he was the CEO of the Pakistan Cricket Board and played a pivotal role at Leicestershire County, showcasing his extensive administrative prowess.

As Khan prepares for a new chapter, set to begin in July, he joins a wave of senior departures from the ICC, including former CEO Geoff Allardice and others. This transition could signal a new direction for the ICC, and fans will be watching closely to see who takes over next. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds!
