Wasim Khan will step down as General Manager of the International Cricket Council at the end of June after four years in the role, with reports on Tuesday confirming he will take up a new position in July. His departure continues a period of senior leadership change within the governing body.
Khan joined the ICC in May 2022 after Geoff Allardice moved into the chief executive role. He managed operational demands during a period when franchise T20 and T10 leagues increased pressure on the international calendar. He worked on balancing bilateral cricket with the growth of short-format competitions.
The ICC’s Future Tours Programme for 2023-27 expanded the volume of international matches during his tenure. The schedule aimed to maintain relevance for bilateral series despite the rise of domestic leagues. The ICC also introduced the first structured women’s FTP in the same cycle, which formalised long-term planning in the women’s game.
Khan’s exit follows earlier changes in senior roles. Allardice has since been replaced as chief executive by Sanjog Gupta. The ICC also replaced Head of Events Chris Tetley and anti-corruption unit head Alex Marshall with Gaurav Saxena and Andrew Ephgrave.
Khan previously served as chief executive of the Pakistan Cricket Board and held leadership roles at Leicestershire County Cricket Club and Chance to Shine. His administrative career followed a playing career in county cricket, where he represented Warwickshire, Sussex and Derbyshire in first-class and List A matches.
