The International Cricket Council (ICC) has appointed Sir Ronnie Flanagan, one of the UK's most senior former policemen, as the new chairman of the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU). Flanagan will succeed Paul Condon, who is retiring from the role at the end of June.
Until recently, Flanagan was the Home Office chief inspector of constabulary for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and was previously the chief constable of the police service of Northern Ireland.
He is currently an advisor to the Abu Dhabi Police Force, and is contributing to the security and safety plan for the Football Association's bid to host the World Cup in England.
ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said: "The job description dictates that anyone who takes the role has to be of international standing and experience. There is no doubt that Sir Ronnie fits that description. He served as a chief constable, he has advised governments around the world in policing techniques and has also been involved in sport.
"We are extremely grateful to Lord Condon – firstly for serving our great sport with distinction and then, after a thorough search, helping to identify such an able and qualified successor. Lord Condon had again indicated to me earlier this year his intention to retire from the role of chairman in June.
"He has been an outstanding servant to cricket in setting up the ACSU and latterly serving as its chairman. He has guided the ACSU through difficult times for the game of cricket and helped to establish the unit as the world leader in its field and one that other sports are now looking to emulate. The game owes him a great debt of gratitude.”
