LONDON: Former Aus­tra­lia batsman Justin Lan­ger, former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith and former England women’s captain Clare Connor have all joined the MCC World Cricket committee, the organi­sation said on Tuesday.

The three new members will join the independent body comprising current and former players, umpires and officials.

Its next meeting will be held at International Cric­ket Council headquarters in Dubai next week when topics such as wealth distribution and playing schedules will be on the agenda.

They are the first new appointments since 2020, and follow Tim May, Vince van der Bijl, Brendon McCullum and Ricky Ponting stepping down and the death of former committee member and Australia spin great Shane Warne.
