South African director of cricket Graeme Smith on Thursday made a strong call for India’s Sourav Ganguly to be the next chairman of the International Cricket Council. Smith said he believed Ganguly, a fellow former Test captain and current Indian board president, was the right person to lead the game at a time of crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It is very important to have the right person as head of the ICC,” said Smith.”Post-COVID, cricket will need strong leadership and it is time for someone close to the modern game with leadership credentials to get into the position.”Shashank Manohar, the current chairman of ICC, also from India, said last December that he would not seek re-election when his term expires at the end of May.
