FORMER Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas has taken over the ceremonial role of International Cricket Council president for a one-year term.

The ICC Annual Conference in Barbados on Wednesday approved Abbas’ nomination and encouraged member countries to appoint former leading players to the role. The 67-year-old Abbas played 78 tests, scoring 5,062 runs and another 2,572 runs in 62 ODIs in between 1969-85. He also played in three World Cups and is the only Asian batsman to score more than a hundred first-class centuries.
