Wasim Khan will leave his position as general manager of the ICC.

After four years in the position, Wasim Khan will leave his position as general manager of cricket for the ICC.
In May 2022, Wasim succeeded Geoff Allardice, who had been appointed CEO of the ICC. Wasim had been the CEO of the PCB for almost three years before joining the ICC.
Wasim played county cricket for Warwickshire in the mid-to-late 1990s, becoming the first Muslim of British descent to do so. He was a left-handed hitter who represented Warwickshire, Sussex, and Derbyshire in 30 List A games and 58 first-class games. He averaged close to 50 throughout the 1995 Warwickshire county title-winning campaign.

Since then, he has had an outstanding administrative career, serving as CEO of Leicestershire County and, prior to that, at the Cricket Foundation, where he assisted in turning Chance to Shine into one of the UK's top national cricket charities.
An more congested cricket schedule, with more T20 and T10 leagues taking up space for international cricket, was one of Wasim's biggest concerns during his time at the ICC. However, there was actually more international cricket in the most recent Future Tours Programme (2023–2027), which was finalised during his tenure. During this time, the first-ever women's FTP was also introduced.

Wasim will be leaving at the end of June and starting a new position in July. His probable retirement comes after the resignation of a number of prominent ICC officials over the past two years, including Alex Marshall, the head of the anti-corruption unit, Chris Tetley, the head of evenings, and Allardice, who was replaced as CEO by Sanjog Gupta. Gaurav Saxena has taken Tetley's seat, and Andrew Ephgrave has taken Marshall's.
