Alan Isaac's ICC Vice-Presidency nomination confirmed

New Zealand Cricket Chairman Alan Isaac’s nomination for the ICC Vice-Presidency was unanimously endorsed by the ICC Executive Board and the full ICC Council today.

In a statement released by the ICC, Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat, said, “Alan is determined to build context and content in the Future Tours Programme for international cricket while maintaining the primacy of the ICC global events.

“I am looking forward to working with him and I know that together with Sharad Pawar they will look to enhance the international game as well as the unity that exists within the game.”

Under the ICC's rotational policy, the ICC Vice-President will become the body’s president in mid 2012.

With 34 years involved in cricket administration Mr Isaac offers a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of issues in the game.

“It is a great honour and privilege to be confirmed as the ICC Vice-President. I am looking forward to serving our great sport at international level and protecting the primacy of international cricket,” said Isaac.

Mr Isaac will relinquish the role as NZC Chairman at the next board meeting on 27 August with his successor discussed at the same meeting.
