Sourav Ganguly to lead ICC Men’s cricket panel again; VVS Laxman returns as member

Sourav Ganguly has been re-appointed Chair of the ICC Men’s Cricket Committee, with VVS Laxman also returning as a member for 2025. In a separate move, the ICC has launched a support initiative for displaced Afghan women cricketers, backed by BCCI, ECB and Cricket Australia. The programme includes financial aid, coaching, and mentorship. ICC Chairman Jay Shah said the initiative aims to ensure inclusivity in cricket and offer hope through sport to those affected by adversity.
