New Zealand's Greg Barclay has been elected chairman of the International Cricket Council.

The Auckland lawyer has been a director at NZ Cricket since 2012 and is currently NZ's representative on the board of the ICC.

Barclay reportedly received support from powerhouse members India, England and Australia with his bid.

He will step down from NZC to take up the new role.

"It is an honour to be elected as the chair of the International Cricket Council and I would like to thank my fellow ICC Directors for their support," he said.

"I hope we can come together to lead the sport and emerge from the global pandemic in a strong position and poised for growth."
