The President of the ICC was the highest position in the governing body of world cricket. It was largely an honorary position since changes pushed through to the ICC constitution in 2014 handed control to the so-called 'Big Three' of England Cricket Board, Board of Control for Cricket in India and Cricket Australia.[1] In 2016, the position of the president of ICC was abolished, with the Chairman becoming an honorary position.[2] Zaheer Abbas served as the last president of ICC.[3]
