ICC's Speed out over Zimbabwe
25/04/2008 19:02 - (SA)
New Delhi - The International Cricket Council (ICC) asked outgoing chief executive Malcolm Speed to go on leave on Friday following major differences at the top of the organisation.
President-elect David Morgan said: "The ICC president, Ray Mali, and Speed have agreed that he will be on paid leave from April 30 until the end of his contract term on July 4 2008.
"This change of plan is the result of a fundamental
breakdown in the relationship between Speed and a number of
(ICC) board members, including the president, over a variety of
issues that include Zimbabwe."
The ICC general manager of cricket, South Africa's David Richardson, will hold the post until his compatriot Haroon Lorgat
takes over the job at the ICC annual conference in July.
