Former Cricket West Indies (CWI) president, Jamaica's Dave Cameron, has been recommended for to the post of chairman of cricket's world governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The recommendation has come from the United States Cricket Hall of Fame which has written to the current ICC chairman Shasank Manohar.
According to Michael Chambers, Executive Director of the US Cricket Hall of Fame, they wrote to Manohar, pointing out that Cameron was inducted into the Cricket Hall of Fame in 2018 for the work he did in transforming West Indies Cricket, in particular, his introduction of professional cricket to the region
In recommending Cameron, Chambers also noted that the sport of cricket, worldwide, was at a standstill and that the 'market for cricket' in the USA could experience an income of over US half a billion dollars per year, with the right person at the helm.
Manohar will step down when his term ends this year, and the ICC is set to discuss the process to elect its new chief soon.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief Colin Graves is favourite to fill the post.
The ICC president used to head the board of directors, but the position largely became honorary after constitutional changes in 2014 saw the creation of the chairman's post.
The new chairman is set to formally take over when the ICC's Annual General Meeting is held at the end of July.
