ICC Chairman N Srinivasan


Narayanaswami Srinivasan, an industrialist, has been the president of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association in India since 2001-02, and a part of the Board of Control for Cricket in India since 2005-06 - first as treasurer and then as secretary, before becoming the president in 2011-12.

From India’s point of view, the national team won the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 and the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup Australia 2012 since he took over as president. He has also played a pivotal role in creating and developing cricket infrastructure across India: four state of the art stadia – Rajkot, Ranchi, Pune and Dharamsala – made their international debuts in the 2012-13 season. That aside, member associations under the aegis of the BCCI benefitted under him with emphasis being placed on getting qualified coaches, physiotherapists and trainers, as well as training for match officials.

It was during Mr Srinivasan’s tenure as president of the BCCI that the board made its one-time benefit payment to international and first-class cricketers who retired before 2004 – more than Rs 100 crore was distributed among 174 cricketers (including the widows of deceased Test cricketers) as part of the scheme.


ICC President Mustafa Kamal

A chartered accountant by training, Mustafa Kamal was the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president from September 2009 to October 2013, a former chairman of the ICC’s Audit Committee, president of the Asian Cricket Council between 2010 and 2012 and the ICC Vice-President from 2012 to 2014.

He was a prominent face in the pre-Test era in Bangladesh first as director and then chairman of Abahani Limited, one of the premier cricket clubs in the country, and founded the Lotus Kamal Pace Bowling Cricket Academy, one of the first of its kind in Bangladesh. He also led the process of bringing in high-profile overseas cricketers for the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, the most high-profile cricket tournament in Bangladesh at the time. Later, in 2012-13, he initiated the process of bringing all first-class players under the BCB central contracts system.

Away from cricket, Mr Kamal has been elected Member of Parliament three times and is presently the Minister for Planning of the Bangladesh government.
