COLOMBO: Former Indian captain Anil Kumble has been appointed as the chairman of the ICC’s Crciket Committee. Kumble will replace West Indies legend Clive Llyod.

There have been other changes made in the committee as well as recently retired English captain Andrew Strauss will replace Ian Bishop.

The ICC's 16-member cricket committee meets twice a year to consult on playing matters and offer recommendations to the ICC.

ICC president Alan Isaac said: "In Anil Kumble, we have a new chairman who
has unquestioned experience not only as a player with India but also as an
administrator with Karnataka State Cricket Association as well.

"I am sure that he will carry on Clive's good work and bring, like Andrew
Strauss, contemporary thinking to the committee, and both understand clearly the issues facing the modern game."
