MUMBAI, June 27: England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman David Morgan will be the next president of the International Cricket Council (ICC), while India's Sharad Pawar will succeed him, a senior Indian board official said on Wednesday.

“We have reached an understanding, now it only has to be cleared by the members,” the official, who did not want to be identified, said from London where a series of ICC meetings is in progress ahead of Friday's annual conference.

Morgan will take over from acting president Ray Mali next year for a two-year term. An official announcement is expected later this week.—Reuters
