The chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is the highest position in the governing body of world cricket. The position was established as an honorary post in 2014 after a revamp of the management of ICC.[2] The president heads the ICC board of directors.[3] Formerly, the ICC president headed the ICC council but that position become a largely honorary post since the changes pushed through to the ICC constitution in 2014 handed control to the so-called 'Big Three', the England and Wales Cricket Board, Board of Control for Cricket in India and Cricket Australia.[4] Former BCCI president N. Srinivasan became the first chairman of ICC on 26 June 2014.[5]

Shashank Manohar resigned as Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) on 30 June 2020, after more than four years in the role.[6] ICC deputy chairman Imran Khwaja was made interim chairman until an election in November.[7] New Zealand administrator Greg Barclay was elected chairman on 24 November 2020.[8][9]

On 28 August 2024, Jay Shah was elected as ICC chairman and assumed office from 1 December 2024.[10]
