Ehsan Mani will head one of ICC’s most important committees, assisting the organisation in discharging its responsibilities in relation to all financial and commercial matters.

Pakistan Cricket Board’s chairman Ehsan Mani has been appointed as the head of the ICC’s influential Finance and Commercial Affairs committee.

The appointment was carried out during the International Cricket Council’s annual conference last week.

The PCB said both appointments were made by ICC chairman Shashank Manohar.

The veteran administrator said in a statement that he was grateful to the ICC chairman for the confidence he has reposed in him and looked forward to working with Sawhney and his team.

He has also been included in the ICC Audit Committee, which will be chaired by India’s Yuvraj Narayan.
