Graeme Smith backs Sourav Ganguly to be next ICC chief

Cricket South Africa (CSA) director Graeme Smith has thrown his weight behind BCCI president Sourav Ganguly for the post of International Cricket Council chairman.

"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," said Smith during an online interaction with journalists.

The term of current ICC chairman Shashank Manohar expires at the end of this month. Manohar clarified last December that he would not seek re-election.
