The International Cricket Council (ICC) today confirmed that Geoff Allardyce has decided to step down as ICC CEO.

Mr Allardyce joined the ICC in 2012 as ICC General Manager of Cricket, and previously served as Cricket Australia’s Manager of Cricket Operations. He was appointed ICC CEO in November 2021, having previously served as acting CEO for eight months.

ICC Chairman Jay Shah said: “On behalf of the ICC Board, I would like to sincerely thank Jeff for his leadership and commitment during his time as CEO. His efforts have played a key role in developing cricket globally. We are truly grateful for his service and wish him well in his future endeavours.”

“It has been a privilege to serve as CEO of the International Cricket Council. I am incredibly proud of the results we have achieved, from improving the global reach of cricket to the commercial foundation we have established for ICC members.

“I would like to thank the ICC Chairman, the Board and the entire cricketing community for their support and cooperation over the past 13 years. I believe that this is the right time for me to step down and pursue new challenges. I am confident that there are exciting times ahead for cricket. I wish the ICC and the global cricket community every success in the future.”

The ICC Board will begin the next steps to identify a replacement.
