HARARE, (CAJ News) – THE International Cricket Council (ICC) has appointed Zimbabwean Tavengwa Mukuhlani as its Deputy Chairperson.

The term runs until November 2027.

Mukuhlani, who is the Chairman of Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) and represents it on the ICC Board, succeeds Imran Khwaja following his departure.

Mukuhlani currently serves on the ICC Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee (F&CA) and the Nominations Committee and chairs the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee.

The appointment comes at a significant time for African cricket, with Zimbabwe preparing to co-host the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 alongside South Africa and Namibia.

“His experience in cricket administration, understanding of the global game and commitment to its development will be invaluable to the ICC Board,” Jay Shah, ICC Chairman, said.

He said Mukuhlani had earned the confidence of his fellow directors.

“His election is also a significant milestone for Zimbabwe, as he becomes the first Zimbabwean to serve as Deputy Chair.”

Shah said that with cricket expanding globally and returning to the Olympic Games, strong leadership would be vital.

Mukuhlani said, “Cricket is entering an exciting period, particularly with its return to the Olympic Games and continued global expansion.”

“I look forward to supporting our Chairman, Mr Jay Shah, and fellow board directors in advancing our shared priorities and serving the best interests of cricket globally.”
