Mani, who represented Pakistan at the ICC since 1989, was formally installed as Vice President of ICC at its annual Conference here last week, paving the way for him to succeed Malcolm Gray in 12 months time. He will have a two-year term in office. "I was honoured on behalf of Pakistan cricket to be nominated for this prestigious position and delighted to be formally installed as Malcolm Gray's successor at last week's Annual Conference. "I already enjoy a close working relationship with Malcolm, fellow Directors and Chief Executive Officer Malcolm Speed and look forward to the next 12 months and the build up to my own term in office," Mani said last night.
Mani, a Chartered Accountant by profession, became a director of ICC in 1996 when he took the chair of the ICC Finance and Marketing Committee, a position he held until last week, when the Committee was dissolved. Bureau Report
