ICC Annual Conference to Be Held in Scotland This July

The International Cricket Council (ICC) will hold its annual conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, from July 8 to 11 this year. This venue was confirmed during a recent virtual board meeting, as reported by cricket news outlet Cricbuzz. The conference will be led by ICC Chairman Jay Shah and is scheduled to take place immediately following the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

The conference will also feature significant elections related to the representation of Associate Members. Three directors from Associate nations will be elected to the 17-member board, each serving a two-year term. Candidates from various countries are expected to contest the elections. Potential nominees include Stephen Musale from Rwanda, Dr. Rudy van Buuren from Namibia, Neil Speight from Bermuda, and Shankar Rangnathan from the United States. Current Associate representatives Gurumurthi Palani, Mubashir Usmani, Mahinda Vallipuram, and Vice-Chairman Imran Khwaja have also announced their intention to run. Previously, the board meeting scheduled to be held in Doha, Qatar, from March 25 to 27 was postponed due to ongoing conflicts in West Asia.
