The International Cricket Council (ICC) has appointed Sanjog Gupta as its new chief executive officer. He will assume charge on July 7, 2025, becoming the seventh CEO in the history of the global cricket body.
The announcement was made following a comprehensive international recruitment process that began in March, drawing over 2,500 applications from 25 countries. The selection included candidates from global sports bodies and top corporate organisations.
After shortlisting 12 profiles, the ICC’s Nominations Committee — comprising Deputy Chair Imran Khwaja, ECB Chair Richard Thompson, SLC President Shammi Silva, and BCCI Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia — unanimously recommended Gupta for the role.
The recommendation was approved by ICC Chairman Jay Shah and ratified by the ICC Board.
Confirming the development, the ICC said in a statement: “Sanjog is a visionary leader with proven expertise in building successful consumer franchises and is widely regarded as one of the architects of the modern sports ecosystem in India.”
