International Cricket Council: International Cricket Council's (ICC) Head of Events, Chris Tetley and General Manager of Marketing and Communications, Claire Furlong have resigned from their posts.

Both Tetley and Furlong were involved in organising the Twenty20 World Cup in the US and the West Indies. This comes weeks after the conclusion of the showpiece event and ahead of ICC's Annual Conference in Colombo, slated from July 19 to 22.

According to the Cricbuzz report, Tetley and Furlong made the decision to quit the international body at the conclusion of the last commercial cycle, but they remained in the post for the T20 World Cup in the United States. The report continued, stating that although the two had resigned a while ago, they will stay at the ICC for a few more months "to ensure smooth transition of charge in a busy event cycle".
