In a vote conducted in secret, Sumod Damodar, the leader of the Botswana Cricket Association, who is of Indian descent, defeated Mubashshir Usmani, the president of the United Arab Emirates, to be elected as an Associate Member to the leader Executives’ Committee (CEC) of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
“The result of the ICC Associate Member Directors election at the ICC Annual Conference 2024, triggered an election for Usmani’s position on the CEC as he is unable to hold both positions,” an announcement from the ICC noted.
The remainder of the term, which ends with the ICC Annual Conference in 2025, will be served by Damodar. He will be joining the 2023-elected Rashpal Bajwa of Cricket Canada and Umair Butt of the Danish Cricket Association.
