ICC appoints Tavengwa Mukuhlani as deputy chairperson
The ICC board has named Tavengwa Mukuhlani as its deputy chairman. He will take over from Imran Khwaja, whose tenure came to an end earlier this year in July. Tavengwa Mukuhlani, who is currently the Zimbabwe Cricket chief, will remain in the role until November 2027. He also serves on the ICC's finance and commercial affairs committee. Interestingly, Zimbabwe will co-host the ODI World Cup 2027, along with South Africa and Namibia.
"With his leadership experience at Zimbabwe Cricket and his understanding of the region, Mr Mukuhlani will bring valuable insight as the ICC and its members work towards delivering a landmark World Cup that will return the tournament to Africa after 24 years and further strengthen the growth and development of cricket across the continent,” the ICC said in a release.
Notably, Tavengwa Mukuhlani has been Zimbabwe Cricket’s chief since 2015, having been reelected three times.
"Cricket is entering an exciting period, particularly with its return to the Olympic Games [in LA 2028] and continued global expansion. I look forward to supporting our Chairman, Mr Jay Shah and fellow board directors in advancing our shared priorities and serving the best interests of cricket globally,” Mukuhlani said.
