Zimbabwe's Tavengwa Mukuhlani succeeds Singapore's Khwaja as ICC deputy chairperson; BCCI to raise umpires' pay

Mukuhlani steps up the ICC ladder as India's domestic officials get a pay bump

Zimbabwe's Tavengwa Mukuhlani has succeeded Singapore's Khwaja as the new deputy chairperson of the ICC, strengthening Zimbabwe Cricket's position at the top table of the global game.

Mukuhlani, who has steered Zimbabwe Cricket through a period of significant rebuilding, now takes on one of the most influential behind-the-scenes roles in world cricket governance.

In India, the BCCI has announced an administrative upgrade of its own: domestic umpires and match referees are set to receive higher pay from the new season — a long-awaited boost for the officials who keep the country's vast domestic calendar running.

With a new deputy chair at the ICC and better-remunerated officials at home, the game's governance landscape is quietly shifting on both the global and domestic stages.
