Wasim played a huge role in bringing back cricket to Pakistan. He was part of PCB on a 3-year contract but submitted his resignation four months before completing the tenure. Now, he hopes to build the women’s game even further.

“I am honored to be joining the ICC, I can’t wait to get started and work in partnership with our Members to strengthen and grow our sport. I’m particularly excited by the commitment to the growth of the women’s game, and I look forward to playing my part in really accelerating that growth over the next decade,” Wasim added.

He was also made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) back in 2013 during the Birthday Honours for his services to cricket and the community.
