| MUMBAI:
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that this year’s annual
conference week will take place in Dubai. The
week, which will include meetings of the ICC Chief Executives' Committee and the
ICC Board, will run from 29 June to 4 July. The
week will see David Morgan take over as ICC president and Haroon Lorgat take up
the post of ICC Chief Executive Officer.
The
annual conference week was originally scheduled to be held
at Lord’s in London. The decision to move the location
to the United Arab Emirates was made by the ICC Board on the
basis that all delegates required to attend would be permitted
entry.
A
few days ago the ICC had sacked its CEO Malcolm Speed and
sent him on a two-month paid leave. Dave Richardson is serving
as interim CEO. There were diffrences between Speed and other
board members over a number of issues.
