PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi is appointed the first female independent director of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Board. She may join the Board in June 2018 to align with the term of the ICC Independent Chairman.
The introduction of an Independent Director, who must be female, was approved by the ICC Full Council in June last year as part of wide-ranging constitutional change aimed at improving the governance of the sports body.
According to the rules, a female independent director is appointed for a two-year term although she may be re-appointed for two further terms with a maximum six-year consecutive period of service.
