The ICC nominations committee will meet in Dubai today to consider the two nominations
for the next ICC President. 
BCCI President Sharad Pawar and England
and Wales Cricket Board Chairman David Morgan are the two nominees
to succeed current ICC President Percy Sonn.
The members of the committee will make a recommendation to
the ICC Executive Board which is scheduled to meet in Cape Town, South Africa,
on March 1.
A new system for appointing the ICC President was put in place
in June 2005 in which the Nominations Committee is the first step of a three-stage
process.
The Committee will report to the Board which in turn will forward
a recommendation to the ICC Annual Conference in London in June where final
voting will take place.
In order for a candidate to be successfully voted in as ICC
President, he must secure support from two-thirds of the ten Full Members at
the Annual Conference.
The ICC Nominations Committee consists of Dr AC Muthiah
(Chairman) (India and Sri Lanka), Bob Merriman (Australia and New Zealand),
Mueen Afzal (Bangladesh and Pakistan), Stephen Camacho (West Indies
and England), John Blair (South Africa and Zimbabwe) and Imran Khwaja
(Associates and Affiliates).
