Greg Barclay has been elected the new chairman of the International Cricket Council

New Zealand cricket representative Greg Barclay has been elected the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Greg Barclay has replaced Shashank Manohar, who resigned this year, as ICC chairman.

Barclays will step down from New Zealand cricket before taking over as ICC chairman.

It may be recalled that ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar resigned from his post in July this year.

Shashank Manohar, former president of the Indian Cricket Board, has twice been chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) for a two-year term.
