International Cricket Council chief executive Haroon Lorgat is to stand down from the position on June 30, 2012, the ICC announced on Tuesday. The 51-year-old former South Africa first-class cricketer, took over as ICC chief executive in 2008 and already has a one-year extension, but he has made it clear he does not want another one.
"Lorgat has informed the ICC nominations committee, chaired by ICC President Sharad Pawar, that he will not seek to renew his term of office which expires on 30 June 2012," said a ICC press release. Lorgat will step down after the 2012 annual conference of cricket's governing body scheduled in Kuala Lumpur in June after agreeing to only one year extension despite being offered another three year term.
Lorgat said he wants to leave the post after the successful hosting of this year's World Cup. "My sense is to step aside after having delivered a successful ICC World Cup and the new global ICC strategy which is now in place," Lorgat was quoted as saying in the release.
