# Cricket: Sanjog Gupta from India has been appointed as the seventh CEO of the International Cricket Council, taking over from Australian Geoff Allardice who stepped down in January. In March, the ICC embarked on a global recruitment process to find the perfect candidate, receiving over two-thousand-500 applications from candidates across 25 countries. Gupta says it’s a privilege to have this opportunity, especially at a time when cricket is poised for unprecedented growth, including its inclusion in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028.
