ICC CEO Geoff Allardice Steps Down Amid Controversy

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that Chief Executive Geoff Allardice has stepped down, following a series of controversies surrounding the organization's handling of the Twenty20 World Cup and the upcoming Champions Trophy.

Background

Allardice, an Australian, joined the ICC in 2012 as ICC General Manager of Cricket and was considered efficient in that role. He was appointed as the ICC's CEO in November 2021, after previous CEO Manu Sawhney was removed.

Controversies

The build-up to the Champions Trophy has been marred by controversy, including the Indian team's non-participation issue, which was not addressed until the last moment. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had written a strong letter pointing out the delay in acting over various issues, including the release of the schedule. The broadcaster Star had also taken a strong objection to the continued delay in the release of the Champions Trophy schedule.

Reaction

Jay Shah, the new ICC Chair, has expressed gratitude for Allardice's leadership and commitment during his tenure. Allardice has also thanked the ICC Chair, the board of directors, and the entire cricket community for their support and collaboration over the past 13 years.

Next Steps

The process of finding a replacement will kickstart with a head-hunting firm coming into the picture.
