Connects board

World Cricket Connects Advisory Board: Jay Shah, the Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), and Sourav Ganguly, the ex-India captain and former BCCI President, have joined the newly-formed World Cricket Connects Advisory Board, said the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

The newly-formed Board replaces the MCC World Cricket Committee, which was established in 2006 and had its final meeting at Lord’s last year. MCC added that the new Connects Board will meet virtually across the year in the planning of World Cricket Connects, and in person immediately after the annual event, apart from working closely with MCC Chairman Mark Nicholas.

“As the Club evolves the World Cricket Connects concept, the aim is for it to become the leading symposium in the game, facilitating the debate of strategic issues in an independent forum and establishing a consensus on paths to ensure cricket’s future success.”
