The Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is the highest position in the governing body of world cricket. The position was established as a 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' of English 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]
