New Zealander Isaac has been confirmed as the eighth president of the ICC and will serve a two-year term in office. He succeeds India?s Sharad Pawar in the post. ?When I look at the list of previous presidents, I am reminded of the importance of this office,? said Isaac. ?In the midst of my pride at being chosen as president, I recognise that there is, of course, much hard work and much progress needed if we are to maintain the game's current healthy state.?
He added: ?I believe that the challenges ahead are no less daunting than those we have faced in the last two years if we are to maintain the vibrancy and viability of the three formats of the sport. I look forward to serving the game with honesty and integrity and to the best of my ability. I look forward to handing on the guardianship of the sport, with the game enjoying even greater health.?
Richardson was confirmed as the ICC?s new chief executive at the organisation?s annual conference after having received the approval of the governing body?s board last month. Richardson succeeds fellow South African Haroon Lorgat in the role, with the ICC having previously revealed that it interviewed four ?outstanding candidates? for its CEO position. Richardson has been the ICC?s general manager of cricket for the last 10 years, having previously represented South Africa as a wicketkeeper in 42 Test matches and 122 one-day internationals. He said: ?I have learnt much in the last four years and I inherit a game in great health with much to be optimistic about. I look forward to building on that and tackling the challenges ahead.?
Meanwhile, the ICC has approved the creation of a powerful chairman?s position with the president?s role being transformed into a purely ceremonial one, with a term of only one year. The board-appointed chairman, holding a two-year term, will lead the ICC in future with the vice-president position being scrapped. The changes will take effect from the close of the ICC?s 2014 annual conference.
