Indonesia's Abhiram Singh Yadav elected to ICC Chief Executives Committee

Indonesia’s Abhiram Singh Yadav has been elected to the International Cricket Council’s Chief Executives Committee (CEC), as an Associate member representative.

Cricbuzz had reported on September 13 that Yadav was among the contenders for the position. He will occupy one of the three CEC positions reserved for Associate members of the world governing body.

Yadav replaces Gurumurthy Palani, who was earlier elected to the ICC Board. He will hold the position until June 2027, when fresh elections will be held for a two-year term.

Yadav was one of four candidates in the fray in the online election, which was held over the last three days. He beat a field that included Sarah Gomersall, Chief Executive Officer of Jersey Cricket, and Vignesh Sankaran, vice-president of Germany’s Deutscher Cricket Bund.

Yadav, who is spearheading the development of an ambitious cricket facility in Bali, polled 30 votes. Gomersall received nine, while Sankaran secured three. There were 43 votes in all.
