KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Dave Cameron confirmed Friday he will be seeking to become the next head of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and will be asking Cricket West Indies (CWI), which he led for three terms, to back his nomination.

Cameron will require the support of two full members of the ICC in his bid to succeed Shashank Manohar of India as chairman of cricket’s world governing body.

Cameron, who lost the presidency of what was then called the West Indies Cricket Board to Ricky Skerrit in the March 2019 elections – in which he was seeking a fourth consecutive term – last month sent a legal letter to the regional body seeking a copy of the report that was submitted after an audit of the board’s finances under his tenure was done last year on behalf of the new administration.

If Cameron is successful in winning the race for ICC chairman, he would become the second West Indian to lead world cricket.

However, the US Cricket Hall of Fame – an organisation that honours cricket legends – has written to the world body recommending Cameron as the man for the job.
