Barclay will replace India’s Shashank Manohar as the second independent chairman of the ICC. Barclay is the representative of New Zealand cricket on the ICC board but now he will step down from his role and replace Usman Khawaja. Khwaja was made interim chairman in July after Manohar’s two-year term ended.
