The ICC said it received more than 2,500 applications from 25 countries from which 12 candidates were shortlisted.

The nominations were forwarded to the Nominations Committee comprising ICC deputy chairman Imran Khwaja, ECB chairman Richard Thompson, SLC president Shammi Silva and BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia.
